I believe in the dignity and worth of all people. I have 18 years of experience working in health care and providing therapy. I have witnessed first-hand people becoming anxious, depressed and overwhelmed when their lives transform due to illness or changes out of their control. I listen with empathy and compassion and help individuals adapt and adjust to changes in their lives.
I approach therapy from a holistic viewpoint. Our mental, physical, social and spiritual health are all interconnected. I have been with individuals in their most difficult times of distress and sorrow and provide a space of compassion where feelings and thoughts can be discussed openly, without judgement. I provide individuals with coping skills that strengthen and empower them to work through life challenges.
It is not uncommon to feel anxious or apprehensive on a first therapy visit. I will provide a warm and non judgmental environment. A typical first session will be gathering information about you, assessing for depression and anxiety and discussing your goals. I use the following therapeutic modalities that I have found help people have healthier and happier lives: Strength-Based, Mindfulness, Holistic, CBT, Solution Focused, ACT, DBT and Family Systems.
