Thank you for checking out my therapy services. It would be an honor to support you on this therapy journey. Here's a little bit about me and my approach to therapy. When you come into therapy, I take the time to understand the whole you, not just your diagnosis or symptoms. We look at all areas of your life and see what needs to be addressed, supported, and adjusted. When working with couples, I also want to understand the couple as a unit and as individuals and not focus only on the problem. Often communication issues are at the forefront of couples issues. Which we can unpack and understand together.

I have helped clients to challenge behaviors and thinking that can be maladaptive. These include addiction issues, self-harm, disordered eating behaviors, self-esteem issues, identity issues, and trauma as well. I have seen couples come into therapy who learn to communicate and find that they can meet their needs in helpful sustainable ways.

I know this can be a bit overwhelming and there might be a lot of questions running through your mind and that's totally normal with this process. I'm available for a 15-minute phone call consultation to answer any questions you might have and see if we would be a good match. Looking forward to getting to know you and helping in any way I can.

I believe the reason individuals come to therapy is that they are having relationship challenges, whether it's with themselves, others, or even society. We struggle with ways to cope with those challenges that can increase anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. We work together focusing on all these issues to remain focused on a well-rounded approach to healing.

I often start with a client-centered approach and see where that takes us. Throughout our work together, we may do various therapeutic models. I find that CBT is a great place to start by addressing how emotions and thoughts affect behavior. Regarding couples therapy, I use emotionally focused therapy that addresses attachment styles and communication challenges.
