Are you ready to take the next step towards inner peace? If so, I would like to help you feel equipped to effectively manage your areas of concern. I specialize in helping older adults navigate challenges including depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions (eg retirement, aging process), relationship issues, and stress management. Together we will create an individualized plan that addresses your needs and goals. I help hold you accountable as we identify barriers impeding your goals. I value highlighting successes to increase your sense of mastery and empowerment as well as your belief in your capacity to change.
I aim to be transparent about the therapy process to help you feel safe. I believe that trust and openness serve as catalysts for change. Furthermore, mixing humor with compassion can help ease the process towards change.
I utilize a variety of clinical theories drawing mainly from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. I aim to help you identify thought and behavior patterns that can be working against your needs and goals and exacerbating distress. I want to commend you for taking this step towards change. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals
