Great to meet you!

Introduction

I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach. My focus area of practice is helping clients improve their lives and find meaningful change.

My communication style

My sessions are calm, collegial, interactive, respectful, directive, and helpful.

How I help clients reach goals

Change does not necessarily take a long time. We're 'shooting for the moon' right away. What's the worst that could happen?

My journey to becoming a provider

Helping others help themselves is an absolute privilege! I'd pay them to do this work (but please don't tell them that.) How did I get here? It's a long story. I originally went to college to be a journalist, but changed to broadcasting. Dumb. I needed to jumpstart my life, so I changed to this profession. Talk about purpose and meaning!

My approach to therapy

I listen a lot and then help people help themselves. I am directive and responsive. There is the problem, and there's how you think about the problem. For most folks, the latter is the bigger problem. That's the bad news... and the good news! Change does not have to take a long time.

My client focus

I'm comfortable with all kinds of clients. I'm good at helping people find purpose and meaning in their lives.

What you can expect from me

I will listen, clarify, and then explain the cognitive behavioral model and how it fits for you. Expect a little homework!
