Work History

I use a mostly cognitive-behavioral approach to therapy. That means that I help people identify thought and behavioral patterns that may not be serving them well. We then work on modifying those patterns so that people can improve their mood and sense of well-being. I am easy to talk to and non-judgmental. I have an open mind and pride myself on seeing the good in the folks I work with. I like to help people build on their strengths. I believe that all people can learn and grow over time because I see it every day.
