Over 12 years of experience treating patients. My goal as we work together is to understand the root of the problem and focus on a solution in a collaborative effort with my patient. Specialize in treatment of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship issues, anger and stress management, among others, within the framework of CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused Therapy.
I am a very straight forward, behaviorally oriented, solution focused therapist. My approach in treatment is to help you identify or refine the issues that led you to seek mental health treatment. My approach with a new patient is to first build and develop insight and a better understanding of the problem that is causing them distress. This is followed by working together in identify specific ways and strategies to begin making improvements.
For some this is their first time in treatment while for others they are seeking someone new to help them on their journey. For both I aim to provide education and specific interventions that can be practiced during the session and continued to be applied in between our sessions. I strive to empower the patient in developing the confidence needed to make significant and long-lasting change.
