As a licensed therapist with over 25 years of counseling experience, I am dedicated to providing person-centered therapy. I have worked with a broad range of people in multiple settings. Those I have worked with have had different challenges from mild depression or anxiety to symptoms related to severe trauma or psychosis. For the past 15 years my focus has been with adults, seniors, and women's issues.
Compassion and collaboration are the cornerstones of my approach. We proceed at your pace, focusing on challenges you choose to address. I endeavor to provide a positive, open-minded, calm space for you to explore and share your experiences. We always proceed according to your mood and focus. It can be difficult and scary to process and address personal challenges. I commend you for even getting this far. Some sessions can be intense, while others are less so. I draw mostly on traditional psychotherapies such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Humanistic Therapy. Sometimes I also incorporate humor to lighten the outlook or draw attention to impossible expectations or limits we place on ourselves or others. However each session goes, it is my honor be with you during this time, and I will strive to the best of my ability to assist you on your journey. I love the saying, "Teamwork is dreamwork." Let's get started.
In our first session, we begin with building a positive rapport as I learn about you, your concerns, and your goals. We identify and build on your strengths as we work together to incorporate therapeutic techniques to assist you in achieving your goals.
