I try to create a safe, trusting environment for my clients and work to bring an authenticity and sense of humor to therapy. My treatment approach is eclectic, and uses research-based methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients reach their goals. In general, I help clients learn more about their emotional selves to develop a deeper understanding of how they are built and what they need to cope more effectively.
