My approach
I use a client-centered approach that involves collaboratively developing goals and a treatment plan to create the most effective path possible to overcome your challenges in order to truly thrive! The most common theoretical approaches I utilize are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, DBT, and trauma-informed care.
My focus
I am comfortable with a wide variety of clients, but I prefer teens and older and I work best with couples and individuals suffering from anxiety and or depression. I also have extensive experience and skills working with clients hoping to address substance abuse (SUD).
My communication style
I am commonly told that I am empathetic, insightful, calming, warm, patient, and curious in sessions.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have been a therapist my whole life, it seems. I have always been intensely fascinated and curious about how and why people do what they do and how their emotional experiences worked. I have also found myself drawn to listening to and helping people since middle school at least!
My goals for you
I believe in collaboration above all else in goal setting.
My first session with you
They should expect acceptance, congruence, and empathy as well as a healthy amount of curiosity.
