Are you looking for an effective therapist who radiates warmth and understanding? Someone who really gets you? It’s often hard to find the right fit, and fit is the most compelling component of good therapy. Perhaps you’re affected by someone else’s addictive choices. Or you may struggle with anxiety and depression and are looking for proven ways to feel better, quicker. There is hope! I can help. I work with adolescents, ages 13 to 18, as well as adults. My specialties are codependency, addiction issues and life transitions. Please call or email me for a free consultation.
I practice a form of counseling called Team CBT, a clinically proven way to conduct therapy. It incorporates powerful methods, empathy and motivational strategies, along with ways to measure if therapy is actually working. Team CBT was developed by Dr. David Burns, author of the bestselling book, Feeling Good.
Clients tell me that they feel comfortable being themselves with me because I’m so genuinely myself. I connect with people on a heart level, and I use humor and appropriate self-disclosure to foster genuine and authentic therapeutic relationships. People feel safe to confront the issues that hold them back from living fully and happily in the moment.
