Therapy

My belief is everyone can benefit from therapy. Because it provides an opportunity to receive confidential support from someone who is objective. Therapy is not for “crazy people.” We all have issues that need to be worked through. Sometimes the issues are from our past, sometimes due to current circumstances.  It can be helpful even for a short period of time to help you get back on track.

There is a myth that therapy is only for people who are weak or have had trauma. Many successful, happy people need help and the expertise of a Psychotherapist.

I have been working with adult individuals in therapy since 2004. I help people with all issues and my approach to therapy is to first learn your story, and understand you and your concerns. Early on I will help you determine how you want to be healthier. If you are suffering from symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, OCD or something else I will spend time educating you about that issue including crucial ways to cope and reduce whatever stress and symptoms you’re facing.

I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Exposure therapy and mindfulness coping skills. Ultimately my goal is to remove things in the way of you being your best self.
