I believe that life on its own can be difficult to manage and that there is no shame in needing help lightening the load.
I have experience working with individuals who are learning to handle major anxiety, trauma, life changes, as well as economic and social difficulties. Previously, working in an educational setting has given me the perspective to help clients of varying backgrounds and age ranges navigate life challenges using interventions and techniques that are proven to assist with these issues.
My view on therapy is collaborative and direct. The belief that everybody is in control of their own story is how I view therapy, and my job is to assist you in growing that narrative. Encouragement to work on yourself to become not just who you want to be but who you strive to be is an essential part of the process.
Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and Gestalt techniques so that I can personalize a plan for each of my clients more effectively is how I collaborate with each individual. Working together, we will not just identify negative thoughts and patterns that are affecting your life but understand why they continue to be present, in order to make lasting changes for your present and your future.
I look forward to meeting and working with you in navigating life's difficulties and taking steps to becoming who you want to be.
