Therapist Overview
During my time in graduate school I became very interested in the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) process and how empirically effective it has proven to be. The goal is for clients to realize that changing one’s ideas or cognition about events can change negative responses into positive ones. As I put this theory into practice during internships, I began to feel more confident in the effectiveness of the techniques and how they could be utilized for the many diverse issues my clients were facing. I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist, however, I incorporate a humanistic approach in my counseling style, tailoring treatment plans based on what is best for each individual client. I am a firm believer in accepting people as they are and working with the gifts that already exist within them. My goal is to help clients help themselves, by teaching them specific coping skills that are suited for each individual, in an environment where they feel safe and secure.
