We seek out therapy in order to improve our lives by both creating the life we want and by pursuing the potential of who we could be. Challenges to achieving our potential can be complicated and troublesome and therapy can help to identify the parts that are unhelpful and unworthy of us and to develop a plan with actionable steps to address them. Therapy can assist to determining our strengths, values, goals and priorities as well as to identify what variables are present when happiness manifests. It will also answer the question ‘what am I doing right’?
My studies and practice specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma related disorders as well as other various mental health challenges. Stress, anger, thinking patterns, healthy living skills (sleep, diet and exercise), interaction and relationships, grief and loss are all areas that I have proficiencies in intervention. My primary modalities of care are evidence-based treatments and strategies to include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and CBT based approaches such as Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Activation, Problem Solving Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
My goal is to assist you in overcoming the challenges and hardships that life presents by individual care to your needs. Through developing a healthy therapeutic relationship, we have the potential to increase optimism, bolster hope, improve character, become disciplined in order to follow our conscience, and to develop a life that is worthwhile. Your motivation and appetite for change are welcome, and I look forward to begin working with you and in seeing all of the positive consequences that come from you getting your life in order.
