I work with families, groups, and individuals of all ages including adults, adolescence, and children. I help point out how anxiety, depression, and stress are brought on by external forces: work, school, abandonment, cancer, chronic illnesses, diabetes, divorce, family issues, dependency, adoptions, unhealthy relationships, control issues, and communication problems. In order to see progress, I work with my patients as a team, actively listening and developing trust. My purpose as a therapist is to create a safe environment where the patient will be able to open up and explore what is going on within them.
By listening to clients, I personalize treatment options to build confidence, handle emotions, and create awareness that leads to better, conscious choices. I strongly believe that collaboration between a client and the client’s therapist allows for the exploration of difficult parts of life.
I encourage people to experience grief, loss, stress, or depression without feeling helpless or trapped. I use various therapeutic methods to focus on the bigger picture. Together we will work to understand why they feel the way they do, and explore different ways of coping with what is going on.
