I am a therapist with 25 years of combined experience as an educator and mental health professional. My goal is to help you reach your highest potential by managing yourself and accomplishing your goals.
My approach
My therapeutic approach utilizes active listening and unconditional positive regard to establish an emotionally safe relationship. I draw from a range of modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Behavioral Analysis, and Client-Centered Therapy to deliver direct counseling services tailored to your needs.
My focus
I work with both individuals and couples, specializing in areas such as couples therapy, anger management, anxiety, depression, aging, borderline personality, behavioral issues, codependency, and mood disorders. My therapeutic style is culturally competent and client-centered.
My communication style
You can expect me to be an empathetic, patient listener who provides an emotionally safe space for you to share. I aim to be direct in my counseling while maintaining unconditional positive regard. My broad spectrum of life experience allows me to relate to a wide range of clients and situations.
My goals for you
My ultimate goal is to empower you to manage yourself effectively and accomplish your most important objectives. Through our work together, I hope you will gain greater self-awareness, learn practical coping skills, and make meaningful progress toward positive change and personal growth.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to establish a strong therapeutic relationship. I will ask about your background, current challenges, and goals for counseling. Together we will start to develop a treatment plan to guide our work and measure your progress over time. You can expect me to listen closely, ask relevant questions, and provide initial impressions and recommendations, all at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
