Therapist Overview
I believe that you are the expert on yourself and you have the capacity for positive change. I am here to help you work through the challenges that keep you from feeling like yourself and living the life you want. I walk alongside people as they move towards their goals and use evidence based therapies to help in the process. I help people going through difficult transitions, coping with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, and navigating the mental and physical toll of living with a chronic illness. My professional strengths lie in using: EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I start therapy with everyone by asking three basic questions: What are you doing to cope with your stressors? What makes your stressors worse? What do you want to be different? This helps to create our map of where you want to be and how to get there. I do a lot of listening, a little bit of talking, and teach new skills to help you work towards your goals.
