My therapy approach:

There is no “one size fits all” way to treat individuals or couples in counseling which means that I tailor my approach to each client with the goal of finding what works to help you meet your goals. My counseling style is collaborative, warm, nonjudgmental and realistic.

I find it helpful to teach my clients strategies to change behaviors, thoughts or feelings so they feel relief and create positive change. I want you to feel the empowerment of knowing what works for you-you take those skills with you!

Clients often ask me, “why aren’t these skills taught in school”? I honestly wish that they were because there is hope, there are many strategies that can help us feel better. This is why I’m so passionate about teaching tools that are proven to help people regulate emotions, communicate with others clearly, connect more deeply with ourselves and others, and find more peace and contentment in life.
