As necessary as change often is, it can also be one of the hardest things to do. It seems safe to stay with what we know even if it's not what's for our best. The good news is is that change is indeed possible! Having an outside perspective to process your story and to begin to interpret and understand things differently can be a vital as you pursue growth and change. The lens of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) considers your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how these interact as well as how they influence our interactions with others; it acknowledge the past while focusing primarily on growth in the present and future. In addition to utilizing CBT, I am also trained in working with family systems. This can take many forms, including working with an individual to examine your own interactions with your family, working with a couple to strengthen their relationship, or working with the whole family to change pattens of interaction in the home. Every person, every couple, and every family deserves a chance to be heard and a chance to be challenged toward growth and change. We all have a story; I consider it a privilege to help you make the most out of yours.
