I prefer to be straightforward, focusing on helping clients achieve behavioral change towards living a life that is in line with their values and priorities. I have been trained in a variety of treatment modalities and work from within an acceptance based cognitive behavior therapy framework, helping clients learn to balance the acceptance of their own experiences with behavior change by focusing on their values, strengths, and learning to build more self- and general-awareness.

I am not always peppy and don't expect you to be.

Sessions can be fulfilling, draining, grueling, or quietly overwhelming. Sometimes a single session is all of these.

What I do expect is that you have reached a point where you want to make changes; a point where you've decided you don't want to keep on the same path. Or maybe you've realized an issue before it's overwhelming you and want to deal with it now.

We'll work hard. I'll be there to listen, guide, teach, and keep you going. You'll have the hard job of processing emotions, implementing changes to your lifestyle and outlook, and continuing on.
