I work with individuals, couples, and groups who are seeking deeper connection and understanding. If you feel isolated, misunderstood, or struggle to connect with others, even when you're trying your best, you’re not alone. Maybe you've been told you're “too much” or “too se,” or you feel the need to hide parts of yourself. Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same arguments. These patterns often stem from old wounds that still impact us today. Together, we’ll explore those experiences with care and compassion, so you can heal, grow, and build more meaningful relationships.

There are times when everyone feels like their struggles are too big for them to handle alone. When people feel unheard, unmotivated, overwhelmed, discarded, or misunderstood, it can be difficult to ask for help. Seeking therapy can be a big step, so I want you to know that my goal is to make clients feel comfortable enough to work on their issues, large or small. These issues could seem simple to outsiders; like procrastination, low self-esteem, or being unhappy in your current situation. However, in therapy I offer a nonjudgmental space where you and I can work together to figure it all out and to work toward YOUR goals.

Life is filled with challenges and obstacles waiting to be overcome. Often times, we find ourselves caught in the same patterns which may result in recurrent undesired outcomes. I work collaboratively with my clients to support building awareness and understanding of how our past may be impacting our current life. Through gaining insight into the origin of our thoughts, behaviors and feelings, we gain the power to take control of our future.

Book with me now by clicking on my website. After many years of seeing clients, I have come to understand that a therapist's role is to encourage action by fostering one's belief in self, others, and the world; courage; and realistic goals. Through these actions, I've come to believe that clients will eventually free themselves of the handcuffs that affect their mental well-being. My goal is to be a catalyst for change.

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
