Therapists are trained in a variety of ways and through different schools of thought. Although I am sensitive to a variety of perspectives, I primarily offers services as a cognitive-behavioral therapist. I strive to learn about and understand how you think about things (e.g., your values, upbringing, family structure, schooling, and religious influences, including what you've learned from friends, teachers, pastors, coaches, and key mentors). I also explore how these cognitive influences have impacted your behavior and your mood. In order to serve your needs I provide individual and couples counseling for adolescents, teens, and adults of all ages. Although I am trained to offer a broad range of services I have particular expertise in helping patients with issues such as (but not limited to):
