I offer a deeply personalized approach specific to each individual to help them build upon their strengths and accomplish the personal growth they are committed to achieving. With compassion and understanding I utilize a collaborative approach where I work with you to identify goals of therapy and the right pace of attaining those goals. I believe an individual's health and life satisfaction can be enhanced through a positive and warm relationship that fosters change, growth and healing. I apply techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. My specialties include anxiety, depression, grief, stress management, trauma, and addictions (gambling, technology, alcohol and drugs). I seek to create a safe, open-minded, nonjudgmental and creative environment where you will feel comfortable articulating and exploring thoughts, feelings and experiences. I hope that through genuineness, hope and courage your life journey will take on a more meaningful direction.
