I use a person-centered approach, relying on Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, and other treatment interventions to help you manage symptoms of depression, grief, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach I enjoy finding the root causes of behavior, which can usually be found in our early experiences. Sometimes our circuits simply need a bit of rewiring to help us view the world, events, and ourselves a bit better. That’s why I'm passionate about Psychodynamic and CBT approaches. However, I always tailor my approach to a client's current struggles. My communication style Meeting someone for the first time, especially in a therapy session, can be scary and overwhelming. I incorporate humor to reduce any feelings of anxiety I sense in my clients. I prioritize empathy, active listening, and collaborative communication. YOU set the pace for therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I was initially drawn to psychology because I was fascinated by early childhood experiences, trauma, and attachment. Later, I began to notice that thoughts affect behavior. This led me to an appreciation of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy.
