Hi there.
My
specialty is coming alongside clients who experience overwhelming anxiety in
everyday life situations and helping them learn new ways to approach and defuse
the anxiety they experience. I also work with clients with a wide range of
other problems, including hoarding, depression, interpersonal issues, and other
life challenges
.
Our work is a collaborative experiential process in which you and I agree to work together on concrete treatment goals by exploring what it is that you value.
I see adults, adolescents, and children (10 years and older).
When working with children and young adults, I generally use a systems-oriented approach, as I believe you cannot separate a child from the family and environment in which they function.
I make a point of using evidence-based approaches to treatment, although I like to consider my treatment paradigm as eclectic in nature. This means that in general I lean more toward utilizing CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approaches, particularly when working with clients with anxiety disorders.
There is often a perception that mental health workers will not respect the faith traditions of those who are spiritually aware, and as a practicing Christian my prayer is that I can become a bridge between these two sometimes opposing worldviews.”
