My Approach to Helping
Seeking help with problems in your life can be very hard. It can also be very hard finding the right person who can help. I believe we can work together to bring you the changes you want in your life. People often find me to be dedicated, caring, and a good listener. You will no longer feel as if you are alone in dealing with your problems. I try to make the therapeutic process less scary, and something exciting in which you can enjoy participating. You are always encouraged to take an active role. You will learn how to bring out the very best in yourself, learning skills you can use throughout your life. I have been able to help people of all ages and with many different types of concerns.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
My specialty is helping children and adults who are dealing with issues related to anxiety and stress. These include panic attacks, OCD, trauma, shyness, and frequent worry. I teach people specific and effective skills for coping with the resulting thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions. These include relaxation/breathing training, reframing of thoughts, mindfulness, and building up courage for when they are faced with difficult situations in their day-to-day lives.
