What you're getting into

Think of me like the friend who tells you when you have spinach stuck between your front teeth, you want to know that, don't you?  I'd rather you be momentarily embarrassed than walk around like that all day.  That's basically therapy with me, except instead of spinach, it's the patterns you keep repeating, things you're avoiding, or the excuses you're making, 

I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, narrative therapy, family systems, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.  But I don't hide behind jargon or spend sessions nodding while you talk in circles.  

I listen.  I challenge you.  I give you tools and real practical strategies that you can use immediately.  I'll point out patterns you're repeating, the stories you're telling yourself that aren't true, and the excuses you're making.  Not to be cruel - because I care about you actually getting better.

I'm direct, but I'll give you concrete skills for managing anxiety, setting boundaries, challenging thought patterns, and improving relationships.

I'll tell you when you're sabotaging yourself, if you need to hear something difficult, I won't sugar coat it.  But, I'm not mean - there's a difference between honesty and cruelty.
