Eclectic

Just as a hammer doesn't work for every repair, one theoretical approach may not work for every situation. I utilize aspects of Cognitive Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and IFS when appropriate, to more effectively help you make lasting change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I've been a CBT therapist for 15 years. I believe we unintentionally create our own misery in the way we interpret the world in childhood. We take those beliefs into adulthood and don't have the awareness to realize our original thinking may have been faulty. I work to identify the ways you view the world that cause pain instead of happiness and help you adapt healthier thinking patterns.

Anxiety

Often you can fall into letting anxiety be in charge of you and don't realize you can be in charge of it. I provide tools to help you address your anxiety in the short term then we'll work to identify the underlying causes. Once we know the triggers we can develop a plan to reduce or eliminate them.

OCD

I sought additional training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the standard for treating OCD, traditional talk therapy doesn't work. Someone with OCD can understand their thoughts logically don't make sense but that doesn't stop the obsessions. ERP along CBT works!

Depression

Not everyone likes working with depressed people. I am skilled at identifying each persons individual causes of depression. I help them to recognize the way their brain can distort thinking so they can learn to think in more realistic and accurate ways that reduces or eliminates depression.
