Welcome, I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with 15 years of experience working with adults suffering with a variety of barriers that prevent them from living their lives fully. I have worked with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, compromised self esteem, major life changes as well as, physical and emotional abuse. I believe the establishment of a strong trusting relationship is the essential first step in the therapy process. Having that relationship allows both therapist and client to examine the client’s life experiences and challenges, as a unique story, told by the client; to be addressed in an unconditional, safe and compassionate setting. It is, after all, the client’s story and it is a privilege for the therapist to be allowed to walk there. My therapy style is Client Centered and Trauma Informed and includes modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, (DBT), Existential Therapy and Trauma Focused Therapy. I think the value of mental health therapy is still greatly misunderstood in our society today and that making the decision to pursue help in this way is a statement of courage and commitment. If you think I can be of service to you, as you work to improve the fullness and quality of your life, I would love to hear from you.
