My Mission

Life-Changing EMPOWERMENT…

My mission is to improve your life and mental health through positive and goal-oriented psychotherapy. I practice psychotherapy because of how it changed my own life. I love helping people and know I can help you, too.

Feeling caught? Held back by your burdens and feeling unbalanced? Let me empower you.

I am a listener, facilitator, adviser, and teacher.

A big part of my therapy consists of getting to know who you are within the bounds of your culture and community. I want to learn and understand all I can about features from your life that contribute to your strengths and weaknesses.

I modify my approach based on your specific needs; however, my primary theoretical orientation is cognitive behavioral therapy. At the start of our very first session, we’ll establish goals and begin by working on smaller objectives in order to make tangible progress. With me, therapy is a collaborative approach.

I work to help empower you – to keep you from being held back by burdens and restoring your balance.

Helping you help yourself…

My strengths are in areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, occupational/educational issues, and empowerment.

So you can stand on your own.

If you want long-lasting results, I’ll train you to implement the tools and coping skills you need whenever you encounter stressful, depressing, or triggering moments.

Because effective therapy doesn’t have to be a lifelong process…

While we’ll start with weekly sessions, our goal will be for you to graduate – eventually – to coming every other week, and so on. Therapy is different for everyone; you’ll work at your own pace, on your own timeline.

But it’s about more than just our time together…

The REAL magic of therapy happens outside the office.

It will appear in how you implement the new insights and tools that you’ve learned – Are you watering the garden and pulling the weeds?

Authentic Relationship – Authentic Change

Most importantly, I want you to know I do my best to practice what I preach.

We’re all humans and therefore flawed; however, I’ll never advise or recommend something I wouldn’t do. I lead by example.

If we really want authentic change to occur, our therapeutic relationship must be authentic.

I look forward to cultivating that relationship with you and to celebrating how you grow!
