I like to support my patients where they are at presently, but also help prepare them for forward momentum. At times I may stir the pot and "call folks" out as necessary, while also validating their experiences for what they are worth.
Identify the issues you want to address and then dig in to get to the root of the problem. Once you understand how you got to be where you are, then that will shed light on where you should go from here.

I am a cognitive behavioral therapist, meaning that we will consider: What do you think about your situation? How do you feel about it? What are you doing about it? Then, together, we'll figure out what needs to change and how to accomplish it.
Together, we will collaborate to create a treatment plan that is specific and focused on creating behavioral change. Throughout therapy you will learn the skills to overcome your current issues and better cope with them in the future.

My approach is both direct and caring, with a touch of humor to keep our conversations relaxed and engaging. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable and supported, without taking things too seriously.
