APPROACH
As a therapist, I specialize in helping people who are struggling through difficult life situations. My approach to therapy is to support you through life’s storms, assisting you to navigate to a place of calm. I can help you to identify what ails you and guide you towards enhancing the quality of your life, creating a life that enables you to live in a more joyful and meaningful way. Utilizing an interactive approach, I invite open dialogue throughout the sessions. I help you identify your personal goals for change and provide clinical strategies for growth towards a new destiny. I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression and anxiety.
