Great to meet you!
I am a client-centered psychotherapist who believes that the client is the expert in his or her own lives. My role is to help the client identify treatment goals and create a plan to help them meet those goals. My specialties are in the areas of adult transitions, relationship challenges, anger management, conflict resolution, and clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, mood and anger. Additionally, I have experience with clients diagnosed with Bipolar I and II, schizoaffective disorder, trauma and PTSD, many with co-occurring disorders including substance use and personality disorders. My intensive clinical training and therapeutic experience help many people navigate through life's inherent up and downs and creating a life truly worth living. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Coping Skills Development with a Solution-Focused approach, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy, depending on the client’s diagnosis. I like to focus on what I can do to help, keep the communication high, and empower people to get motivated and active in their life solutions.
