I've been a psychologist for over 10 years. I have practiced in different places across, the U.S., including Seattle, Hawai'i, and now Wilmington the past few years. I truly enjoy what I do. I believe working on your mental health makes life more satisfying, myself included. I work with adults from a variety of backgrounds, Common reasons people see me include: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, men's issues, and substance use.
I view therapy first as a relationship. I recognize there's another person across from me that is trying to work through some challenges in their life. I try to communicate to clients in a way that feels natural to me; which is balanced with compassion, education, and humor. My therapeutic approach is mostly based on Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) and Emotion-Focused (EFT) interventions.
I hope you get the sense that I genuinely care about your issues and that I am capable of giving you the support you need to get through them. I want you to feel that you can have moments of being your honest, vulnerable self. And that you come away from those experiences gaining a better understanding of yourself and how you want to live your life.
