About My Clients

The decision to attend counseling can be a significant moment in one’s life. The choice to seek this kind of support can come about for many reasons. People seek therapy to deal with issues, conflicts, and problems associated with a range of topics: interpersonal relationships, professional/career issues, family struggles, unwanted symptoms/behaviors/feelings, a desire to make change, a need to process/grieve painful events from the past or present, self-exploration and many other purposes.

My Background and Approach

My primary therapeutic approach is utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT) . I believe that when you change your perspective of what is around you, feel empowered to approach life as your best self and thus transform your life. Although my main therapeutic approach is to rely on CBT, I also rely on strategies and techniques from Positive Psychology and Mindfulness. My experiences has been that these three therapeutic approaches have a synergistic effect that has help elevate my clients and given them the resiliency to meet challenges head on as they work towards their life goals. My work with you will also include recommendations targeting nutritional changes, physical activities, and mind-body approaches..

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I seek to create an atmosphere that is warm and empathetic while encouraging clients to be open to deep and profound exploration.This dynamic has proven to foster the kind of environment I believe is conducive to growth and change. I believe foundation to a successful therapeutic relationship is the creation of a safe place for one to explore conflicts, issues, and feelings. When this is possible, I believe the door opens for meaningful and significant growth to occur. Perhaps more importantly, I believe growth can take many forms: career success, improved relationships, improved sense of well-being, enhanced sense of self, reduction of painful/unwanted symptoms,etc. The kind of growth one is seeking is best decided upon by careful collaboration between the therapist and the client.
