If you've tried to figure it out on your own (or with google/social media support) but are now scrolling through psychology today analyzing therapists pictures who looks like they can help- welcome! You're not alone. The world of mental health can oftentimes feel stuffy and regimented but I strive to make it understandable, informative and to be a real person with you. It takes a skilled therapist to help you repair your tire (process, shift perspectives, problem solve and develop skills) and get back on the road to your desired destination (life goals/lifestyle, intentional living, and follow through).
As a self-proclaimed psychology nerd I am trained in CBT, EMDR, DBT, TF- CBT, MST and I strive to provide the most informative care through a variety of learning theories. At the same time, I believe that a therapist's ability to connect on a non-judgmental/human level is just as important as any degree or certification they may have.
I practice with the perspective of living intentionally based on YOUR identified values and finding creative ways (and sometimes making hard decisions) to accomplish this. Finding someone you can truly trust can be a difficult decision, please send an email if you're interested in working together. :)
