Therapy style
I am a therapist with over 10 years of experience using clinical skills. I specialize in helping people understand why they do what they do, and how emotional and behavioral patterns may impact them and their relationships. I use a Solution-Focused, insight-oriented perspective, balanced with empathy. We all need a safe and supportive environment to explore life’s challenges and change those thinking patterns. There is tremendous value in talking through problems and identifying feelings with a mental health professional with the experience, training, and expertise to understand what you are going through. Working as a team, we can evaluate options, discover solutions, and improve your confidence. By infusing compassion, intuition, and encouragement into the therapy process, I can help guide you in gaining the freedom from your worries that you may be seeking.
