Therapy is about where you are and where you want to go. It is about acceptance of your values and the goals that you seek. Therapy doesn't have to be a long painful journey. Resolving conflicts, getting over issues, or addressing unwanted feelings should be a positive quest. I believe in short term therapy which has been successful with my Adult and Adolescent clients who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and other symptoms. Life Coaching-Therapy can help uncovering the patterns of feelings, thoughts or patterns of behavior that have interfered with our goals.
I graduated with a Masters in Psychology and have 4 years post masters training in Marriage and family therapy and have been trained in EMDR. My approach is guided by you and your needs.
I am a person first and therapist second. Working on problems is serious but I feel having a little humor and focusing on strengths can make the process more normal. I have the wisdom and experience with a youthful spirit which allows me to relate to all ages. If I can't help you I know someone who can. I am connected to a group of talented therapists.
