Anxiety and Depression

Great to meet you!

My focus is on the treatment of anxiety and depression. Therapy can be a great support during our most overwhelming and challenging periods in life. As a team, we will work together to understand and improve your emotions and behaviors. I believe people have great potential to improve their lives. I strive to provide an understanding and non-judgmental environment where you will feel comfortable expressing yourself openly.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the foundation of my treatment. Many research studies suggest that CBT can lead to an improvement in functioning and quality of life. CBT involves learning new ways to cope with problems and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to empower my clients and teach them how to "be their own therapist." I try increase their awareness and understanding while teaching them skills they can use for a lifetime.
