As part of the natural experience of life all people can experience worry over a present life circumstance or concern over what could happen. Problems arise when our worries become overwhelming, and begin interfering with our everyday functioning. Utilizing cognitive therapy techniques and polyvagal therapy principles I help my clients regain control over their thoughts and their life.

Many of the issues my clients struggle with that are interfering with their relationships can often be related to breakdowns in communication . I aid my clients in communicating more effectively with the significant people in their lives.

Everyone encounters stress during their lives at one point—never-ending bills, demanding schedules, work, and family responsibilities—and that can make stress seem inescapable and uncontrollable. For people with ADHD this stress can be even more pronounced with their compromised executive functioning and associated focusing difficulties. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them better manage their ADHD.

Coaching may augment traditional psychotherapy, but the work of coaching is meant to be done when major emotional and psychological wounds are already healing or healed. Thus, while emotional issues may arise during the course of a coaching session, the primary focus of the coaching is to help you identify your goals, achieve them, and develop constructive habits and skills. There is little emphasis placed on delving into the root cause of your emotional issues with coaching.

Ever since I did a paper on Carl Rogers in college, he has always been one of my favorite theorists. I see his concept of unconditional positive regard for the client at the center of what all modern therapists and coaches do. Thus his concepts are at the heart of what I do.

My training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy is at the heart of much of my therapeutic work. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy principles I aid my clients in overcoming limiting beliefs and in setting realistic goals for their lives. I am also trained in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.
