My approach is realistic and flexible to match my clients' needs. I am practical and goal-oriented. I can offer support to process difficult times, or I can give strategies and skills to help you deal with issues, as well as to make sense of the world around you. I usually help clients set small goals for the next session, and I understand that life can be difficult to manage. I can offer education to help you better understand your thoughts and feelings and concrete suggestions for growth. I want you to know that you are not alone, and sometimes issues we face are normal for the world we live in.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, behavioral management strategies, and solution-focused therapy. I give methods for growth at each approach and believe in educating clients about the issues they face. I try to help clients to set small goals and work on concrete strategies. I also try to help clients understand the world around them and differentiate what is and is not in their control. Struggles are normal, and therapy can be scary. I try to be honest, real, and nonjudgmental. I look at therapy as a ladder and a partnership. A person needs a ladder to reach a tall place, but therapy does not work unless one climbs the ladder.
