I can help you move toward the life you want. People often have difficulty doing what they want to do. Distressing emotions, thoughts, memories, sensations, and plain old habit push us toward actions that do not reflect our values or our goals. I work with people to improve their focus on what is important to them and overcome whatever barriers keep them from moving in that direction. If you are tired of your thoughts and feelings running your life, I would be happy to help you regain control of your life and start living according to your values and goals.
Successful therapy is rooted in a relationship of acceptance, encouragement, validation, and challenge. I regularly address the your experience of the therapy relationship and their progress to make sure you are experiencing a relationship in which you can begin making the difficult changes necessary to move toward your desired goals.
I use treatments that have been proven to work. These generally focus on how our thinking, feeling, and behavior influence one another. Therapy is active, present-focused, and challenging. I want you to be living your life and accomplishing your goals, rather than coming to therapy.
