My hope is to provide clients with the confidence and tools they need to meet life's challenges successfully. During our initial session, we will review the intake forms and explore the client’s identified problem, whether it is a specific situation or a more general emotion. Some may prefer a brief, goal-directed series of sessions with a structured approach, while other clients may benefit from supportive discussion of their struggles and emotions. In either case, I will challenge you to consider your deeply held thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors to figure out what’s working…and what isn’t! You cannot always control what happens in your life, but you can control your reactions and behaviors. I’ll help you focus on what you CAN change - that's where true growth and healing occurs.

I prefer a collaborative approach! I can guide you in setting the goals and direction of therapy, and we will work together toward achieving those goals. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs. Early on, we will explore what brings you to therapy and identify your therapeutic goals. During our sessions, I will prompt you to challenge the patterns of thoughts and behaviors that aren’t working and replace them with more effective, beneficial ones. I often assign “homework” or a journaling assignment for clients to work on between our sessions to reinforce the growth they are working toward.
