Nice to meet you
While I also employ the use of a Strengths-based model and collaborative treatment planning, I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured, effective approach that works with a variety of problems like mood issues, stress, and trauma. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which allows clients to see and understand connections between their stressful situations, their thoughts and beliefs, and resulting emotional difficulty. The homework is not overly time-consuming and it enhances therapy much like the saying "The more you put into something the more you get out of it."

I like the outdoors, walks, hikes, swims in the ocean, and scuba diving. I like to read, play video games (on occasion), and I am always interested in learning new things including new information that I can share with my therapy clients.
