I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) models and offer a direct and compassionate humanistic approach. I use Logo therapy, Gestalt therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am also well versed in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
I look forward to talking and working with you and hope the work we do together helps you find contentment and joy in your life.
The work you do with me should heal on two levels: The first is the deeper level where we form a relationship with ourselves and the second is where we form relationships with others, so you can be more comfortable and clear in your daily life. I have extensive experience in both mental health and substance use issues and treated adults, kids, and adolescents. I have been supervised and trained in both pre and post-graduate settings in individual, group, family, and couples counseling therapy. I have experience working with a wide range of psychological issues including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use.
The first session really is to determine if you think I am a good fit for you and a brief or detailed explanation of how therapy works if you are new or returning to it. A therapist that is right for you should be able to touch your heart in the first three sessions.
