About me
Do you often find yourself feeling burdened and struggling to stay committed to your goals? Have you had negative experiences with therapists in the past, leading you to doubt the effectiveness of therapy? Perhaps you’re even questioning whether therapy is the right choice for you at this moment. These are common thoughts and concerns shared by many of my clients.
I understand that traditional therapy, with its stereotypical image of sitting in a room with a stranger who asks, “So, how do you feel about that?” can come across as robotic and impersonal. I believe therapy should be a genuine and a personal experience. If you’ve been trying the same approach repeatedly and haven’t seen the results you desire, it’s time to consider something different.
With years of experience in therapy, I specialize in assisting clients with managing stress, overcoming anxiety, fostering self-discipline, boosting self-esteem, and increasing confidence. I take an unconventional approach, steering clear of clinical jargon and outdated textbook techniques. Instead, I rely on a combination of strengths-based therapy, empathy, active listening, exposure therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to guide you toward achieving your goals.
Taking the first step towards seeking a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and I am here to provide you with the support and guidance you need.
Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.
