I work with clients who find their lives limited by traumatic experience, anxiety, or depression. After a careful assessment, I provide information about evidence based treatment options. I create treatment plans with clients, and include specific goals so that we can both track progress. I work with clients to plan ways they can practice new skills between sessions. I find this speeds progress.

I enjoy using Motivational Interviewing to help clients increase their own motivation for change. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy extensively. With CBT, we'll work together to find beliefs that are keeping you stuck and shift those beliefs to more realistic and helpful thoughts. We'll use those beliefs and specific strategies to help you accomplish goals and feel better about yourself.
