Beginning therapy can sometimes feel scary or intimidating- but it doesn’t have to be! I come from a strengths based, client-centered approach and will make it a priority to move through the treatment process as a team. I welcome young people and adults of all backgrounds and skill sets. We can work together to explore past, present, and future challenges, as well as build self-empowerment and positive regard through a combination of conversation and exercises.
My specialty areas include mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, anxiety disorders, and depression. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness.
As with most things, there is not a one size fits all approach to therapy. The road to growth, understanding, and progress looks different for everyone. I am here to assist you by providing support and to help you build the necessary skills in order to cope with any difficulties that may arise.
Additional areas of focus: Anger management, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Attachment issues, Codependency, Dependent Personality, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Jealousy, Life purpose, Phobias, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues, Young Adult Issues
