Bio:
I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and addiction. My areas of expertise include couples therapy, men's issues, sexual issues, and parenting issues. My approach to therapy is engaging and interactive. I believe that therapy should not be hard and heavy. You can not fix a problem from the same place it came from. My motto is "light and easy." We will confront difficult situations and tackle great challenges together in a light and easy way. I aim to inspire my clients and more often than not my clients end up inspiring me.Conventional psychotherapy often pays too much attention to venting negative thoughts and feelings. I am an active participant in your therapy process. I will work with you to teach you specific skills, behaviors, and ways of thinking to create meaningful and lasting change in your life.My approach includes the mind, body, and spirit. I follow a learning model. Instead of diagnosing an illness, I will often identify an "absence of health." I integrate different therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, breathing and relaxation techniques, and relationship skills to meet your unique needs.
