Life is stressful. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, critical self-talk, bad habits, or relationship problems. Maybe you are repeating the same negative behaviors, knowing they're not working, but not knowing how to stop. Or maybe you are looking for a space to talk about your daily struggles. You've taken the first step, perhaps the hardest step in changing your struggles. Let's continue to move forward.
Therapy can be a powerful tool to help you understand your needs, gain insight into your struggles, and help identify positive changes you'd like to make in your life. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides therapy for individuals aged teens to adults. I provide a safe, caring, nonjudgmental space so that you can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that lead to feeling stuck, or the difficulties of not knowing what to do next. I strive for a collaborative process in which we work together to identify what you want your life to look like, and how best to make that happen.
You are complex, your needs are complex, and I am trained in various treatment models to address your needs. You may hear "buzz" words about different types of therapies. The most important aspect of therapy is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship to create a comfortable, productive space for talking. I use a combination of humor and compassion to gain an understanding of your ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that reinforces the very problems and patterns that you want to change. I am trained in CBT, DBT, and can provide EMDR treatment. We will work together to develop creative strategies to address your needs and find healthy and adaptive changes.
