I was drawn into this profession from an early age, always curious about people, what they do, how they think, how they go about solving problems or getting stuck in them. Even when we do things well, we stumble over life's hurdles. It can feel overwhelming trying to find a way out or up or back. A listening heart and a supportive hand can be a big help finding our way again. With over 40 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people and concerns.
Therapy works best when we build it around you. Sessions are collaborative, candid and sometimes a little humorous, because healing does not have to feel heavy. My aim is to help you understand your patterns, build real skills and move forward. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing and Problem Solving Therapy, choosing the approach that fits your goals and pace.
Our first session is a real conversation, not an intake form. We will talk about what brought you here. More importantly, I want to hear your full story: where you have been, what you have tried and what matters most to you right now. By the end, you will have a clearer sense of what our work together can look like and you will leave feeling heard rather than evaluated.
