About

Are you sick and tired of feeling anxious, worried or depressed all the time? Discouraged that your own efforts to change things only leave you stuck? And then downing yourself on top of that? Are you living only a part of the life that you wish you could have? Well, anyone can fall into those traps. You don't have to figure it all out by yourself. And trying harder isn't the solution. Trying “different” is. Learning and practicing new skills is your ticket out. I can help you identify the traps and make best use of new/different skills and strategies. To accomplish that, I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy which focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Working collaboratively with specific goals in mind, we develop practical strategies to more effectively manage challenges, reduce distress, improve mood, and promote adaptive thoughts and behaviors. It doesn't take forever!
