Finding a good therapist while you’re in the midst of emotional pain is not an easy task. The search can be exhausting and complicated by insurance requirements. Your first goal is to try to find someone you can connect with. It is important to feel comfortable with your therapist. My therapeutic style is centered around respect, empathy, and active engagement. Our first task together is to help reduce your pain and restore your sense of well-being. Our next goal is very important: to help you identify the thinking, feelings, reactions, and behavior patterns that contribute to creating ongoing distress.

Using cognitive-behavioral techniques and a comprehensive understanding of your history, we can begin a change process of healing and personal growth.

Our final goal is to provide you with the tools, techniques, and strategies to help you identify and replace self-defeating patterns and adopt positive, growth-oriented behaviors and responses.
