Great to meet you!

I consider myself an education therapist as I prefer to educate you about what you are capable of doing for yourself and then get you practiced up for engaging in the world.

My approach to therapy

I am a solution-focused therapist who uses a blend of Cognitive Behavior Therapy(CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT) to help people gain better self-awareness and thereby better self-control.

What you can expect from me

Clients should expect to gain an understanding of how they are tripping themselves up with their current attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors and be empowered to make appropriate changes where they see needed through the education process.
