We will form a partnership to find change, peace of mind, well-being, and happiness. I will be there with you for professional guidance and support as you work to improve your life.

Regardless of the letters after a therapist’s name, if there is no connection, then you may not get the most from your time and effort in therapy. I strive to engage clients from the start and remain a partner on your path forward. My style is conversational and relaxed, creating a welcoming environment for you. Therapy isn’t effortless but it doesn’t always have to be difficult.

Talk. Heal. Change. These three words aren’t just a therapist’s mantra; they’re the very essence of mental health treatment. Let’s unpack each one:

Talk:

  • Connecting and being heard: Therapy isn’t just venting; it’s a safe space to explore your feelings, anxieties, and experiences without judgment. It’s like opening a cluttered box of emotions and sorting them one by one. Through talk therapy, you externalize your internal struggles, creating clarity and understanding.
  • Processing emotional energy: Holding onto unexpressed emotions is like bottled-up pressure. Talking releases this energy, allowing you to process past traumas, anxieties, and pain. It’s like clearing the emotional airwaves and giving yourself space to breathe.

Heal:

  • Integration and resilience: Through talk therapy, you can reconnect with your emotions and understand their role in your life. This integration builds emotional resilience, making you better equipped to navigate challenges and difficulties. It’s like strengthening your emotional immune system.
  • Reduced negativity and empowered coping: Sometimes, talk therapy can lessen negative emotions like anxiety, depression, and confusion. But even if the intensity remains, you learn better coping mechanisms, empowering you to handle them with confidence and self-compassion.

Change:

  • Transforming thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs: This is the ultimate goal. The insights gained through talk and healing pave the way for positive change. You might alter behaviors, reframe perspectives, or even shift limiting beliefs about yourself and the world. Change is your personal journey, not a destination; it’s about evolving into a more empowered and authentic version of yourself.

“Talk. Heal. Change.” It’s not just a catchy slogan; it’s a roadmap to mental well-being. By prioritizing open communication, emotional processing, and personal growth, therapy empowers you to navigate life’s challenges and create a life you love.

Now incorporating EMDR where appropriate.

About Me

Psychotherapy doesn’t have to be boring or feel like work. My goal as a therapist is to have a great conversation with you and try and help make the hard work seem less difficult, feel less painful, and even sometimes make it enjoyable. I view it as my responsibility to use my empathy, experience, personality, and even sense of humor as tools to help you make your breakthroughs in therapy.
