About me
I specialize in helping clients identify negative thinking patterns and behaviors, and apply change where change is needed. As a therapist, I help my clients understand that the way we think affects the functioning and quality of life. Through the therapeutic process, I am there to encourage, guide, and to see my clients through their efforts. When working with clients, I offer a blend of kindness, empathy, openness, with some accountability and a healthy dose of humor. I believe therapy is a place where clients come looking for change, and when change is accomplished, clients have a set of tools they will use for future struggles. The therapeutic process works best with honesty and vulnerability, and I work to create a relationship that allows a client to feel safe to share their challenges with me.
