How I Can Help You       
The core of therapy is to participate in a cooperative relationship. Achievement of your goals depends on how well you and your therapist work together. Each person is a part of the process, which includes self-reflection and action between visits. Psychotherapy is a partnership between an individual and a licensed professional who is trained to help people understand their feelings and assists in overcoming difficulties in one's life. The mutual understanding in therapy and interpersonal foundation effectively decreases depression, anxiety and other related symptoms. Therapy can also help to:       
​   
  • + Bring direction and purpose in your life                       
  • + Increase motivation and improve your personal perspective        
  • + Strengthen relationships or guide you to develop new ones          + Understand your strengths and weaknesses

Areas of Specialization
Each person is different and has unique ways to process thoughts, feelings and beliefs. I have had great success using the techniques listed below to help my clients overcome the challenges in their life and in their environments. Life's circumstances can sometimes be confusing and can lead to conflict and struggle. Therapy allows for an unbiased outlook and for an opportunity to start with a clean slate and work towards a progressive and meaningful goal. Often talking to a specialist helps, however, talking to someone who cares, can make a difference.

Treatment Approaches
A thorough assessment is a critical step in psychotherapy, as it will guide much of the therapeutic process. While it is generally conducted during the first part of consultation, information obtained throughout treatment may be used to refine and even correct initial impressions and interpretations. The objective of the assessment process is to understand and formulate a treatment approach.  My approach is based on an individuals personality, the severity of the conflict and level of coping skills. The goal is to find the right approach that will give long lasting results and a feeling of connectedness. Some of the the therapies I use are:


  • + Psychodynamic                                                              
+ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy                                                                            
                                                                                           + Trauma Focused                                                            
                                                                                           + Play Therapy                                                                 
                                                                                           + Motivational Interviewing
