My Approach to Helping

Are you anxious or depressed? Are you having trouble in your relationships? Is it difficult to balance your work and home lives? Do you struggle to stay creative while dealing with life's many pressures? I believe that therapy can help. We all have times when the challenges and issues that we face seem too great to handle on our own. It can be helpful at these times to discuss our problems in a safe and supportive environment with someone who has experience dealing with these challenges and issues.

Therapy works best as a partnership between therapist and client conducted in an open and safe atmosphere. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental approach in developing this partnership and working towards your goals. Together, we will examine your concerns and find creative, practical solutions that work for you.

More Info About My Practice

My approach is based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which holds that our unhelpful thoughts lead to our emotional distress and unproductive behaviors. By replacing these thoughts with helpful thoughts we can improve our mental well-being and how we function in our social, romantic, occupational, and spiritual lives.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I specialize in using mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in helping people with anxiety disorders. Anxiety is often driven by negative thoughts and perceptions regarding the events in one's life. CBT is very helpful in addressing these thoughts and restructuring them so that they are helpful instead of damaging. This approach is very active which clients with anxiety seem to prefer.
