Have you ever felt like you were in a situation that you have not realized was so bad until recently, but now do not know what to do about it after having lived with it for so long? Maybe it is a situation or a person you have been living with that has been causing you grief? Perhaps a recent trauma has affected you in ways that others have suggested might be unhealthy, even? Perhaps also you struggle with an addiction, and need help breaking free? Sometimes, we might just feel sad about something, or it might be as simple as just not feeling like everything is OK.
Through the use of cognitive-behavioral techniques, designed to uncover an internal, hidden thought process that is either leading you towards your trouble or is keeping you in it, I can help you identify those internal thought processes, confront, and challenge them so you are able to break through and reach your potential.
I understand that whatever it is that troubles you, can be difficult to talk about. Perhaps there is nobody else you feel you can confide in, but I want you to understand that my goal is to provide a calm, non-judgmental environment. I will take your problems seriously, be a supportive ear, and help you every step of the way through.

I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. I will work with you to gain an understanding of what is troubling you, where it is coming from, and most importantly, what we can do about it. I will then work on keeping you accountable towards using the tools developed in sessions in your life outside of the sessions.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. We will begin our first session with me asking questions about yourself and what brought you into therapy, and what your goals are. We can then look at how we can accomplish those goals, and in subsequent sessions we will start looking at your thoughts, to uncover how your thoughts are affecting your actions and emotions.
