After a long day, it is sometimes hard to say why you feel restless. Like the changing of seasons, we often don’t know how our life can look so different than it did just yesterday. You may be experiencing a new layer of stress at home or work, or maybe you're wrestling with what feel like the same old problems. Perhaps your relationships with others, with God, or with yourself are not where you want them to be. When we feel least like ourselves, it’s good to check in and slow down.

My treatment aims are as follows: 1) provide direct symptom relief, 2) engage clients in treatment in a way that interests them, 3) appeal to strengths, 4) encourage overall treatment compliance, and 5) explain the clinical process in easy to understand language. Empowerment occurs with the recognition that mental health symptoms have predictable patterns. Symptoms are relieved through changing these patterns. Interactive readings and assignments are encouraged.
