Introduction
I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach. My focus area of practice is helping clients improve their lives and find meaningful change.
My communication style
My sessions are calm, collegial, interactive, respectful, directive, and helpful.
How I help clients reach goals
Change does not necessarily take a long time. We're 'shooting for the moon' right away. What's the worst that could happen?
My journey to becoming a provider
Helping others help themselves is an absolute privilege! I'd pay them to do this work (but please don't tell them that.) How did I get here? It's a long story. I originally went to college to be a journalist, but changed to broadcasting. Dumb. I needed to jumpstart my life, so I changed to this profession. Talk about purpose and meaning!
