You may be wondering where to start or if counseling can help you with your current situation. My approach to therapy is to provide support and insight and to teach you coping skills that will help you identify and change patterns of behavior that don’t suit your current pursuit of happiness and peace. With sensitivity, compassion, and humor, I can help bring clarity to a wide range of life’s challenges and psychological issues.
My specialties include: Borderline Personality Disorder, Parenting, Depression, Bipolar, Impulsive behaviors, Racial Identity Development, ADHD, and Social Skills. I use a combination of skills and techniques from both CBT and DBT, depending on the client’s needs.
If I feel it is not a good fit for me to provide treatment for your particular situation, I will refer you to a counselor who is a perfect fit to meet your individual needs.
