therapy for adults

Our work explores the story of your past, your upbringing, and the current situations causing distress.  We look at how you inadvertently maintain negative thought patterns and behaviors through your core beliefs.

Core beliefs form out of our childhood experiences, and these beliefs are how we learn to make sense of ourselves, others, and the world.  These beliefs are held deeply and are often challenging to identify.  In individual therapy, we look to understand how you formed these beliefs, how they served you in the past, and how they may be interfering with the present.

Our work together is goal-oriented, direct, and transparent.  I am open and honest with you throughout the process.  My job is to listen, to hear you, and to help you make connections between the life you are living and the life you want to be living.  And while I am the expert on CBT, you are the expert on you.  We work collaboratively to determine the path forward, and you are always in charge of the journey.
