My Approach to Helping

As a young adult you might feel like you have no clue how to handle some of the life's complex challenges thrown at you. Or sometimes the pain of life is just too great, too overwhelming, and you feel completely alone and stuck with a problem. Or you have experienced the greatest loss of your life, and you just need someone to listen to you and give you a different perspective.

This is where I can help you. I will treat you with respect and compassion and listen carefully with empathy to your problem. I will hold a safe and confidential space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. We will work together to help you become aware of your thoughts and feelings about a problem, and how to look at those problems in different, more manageable ways. Rather than adopting only one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods that are most effective for each individual and situation. I take a strength perspective and focus on what your strengths are and how we can build on those strengths to reach your potential.

More Info About My Practice

I am a psychodynamic therapist who is engaging, encouraging, has a sense of humor and uses a strengths-based approach to therapy. My goal is to provide you with a supportive, safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and develop into the person you want to be. I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist and I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), the 12 Step Transitional Model and a certified clinical trauma professional.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance

My practice philosophy is rooted in the strengths perspective and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I hold a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share, build self-awareness and work together to change behavior, thoughts and beliefs. I strongly believe a successful therapeutic relationship is vital to enhancing your personal strengths and mobilizes for change in your life.
