Choices! Research shows that we are more likely to change when we have choices. Together we will identify research-based interventions that can help you cope more effectively with the problems you are experiencing and help you feel better. Psychiatrist Irving Yalom said "It's the relationship that heals!" I firmly believe this and will work with you to form a relationship that feels safe - one that helps you tap into your own wisdom and strengths. You will become more familiar with who you are and will allow yourself to live your life more freely and more fully.

Psychotherapy can be greatly beneficial to you if you are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, difficulties adjusting to a situation in your life, trouble communicating with others, difficulties managing stress, or feeling stuck in life. Psychological counseling can help you decrease feelings of anxiety or depressed mood, manage stress more effectively, improve communication with others, decrease unwanted thoughts, increase self-care, and make healthier decisions. Along with support and encouragement, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you effectively meet your personal goals.

I believe psychotherapy helps teach us how to have healthy relationships, cope with life stressors, and learn to love and accept ourselves. Within my psychotherapy sessions and groups I begin with identifying what your presenting problem is and we begin to work on solving how you got to this problem. I often discuss the importance of self love, assertiveness, and the importance of communicating effectively. I work with my clients to lift them up and empower them to recognize unhealthy habits and relationships and replace them with sustainable healthy habits that benefit them in every aspect of their lives.
