To be helpful I've adopted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Mindfulness Informed Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches.
Hello, I hope you are ok. Life can be challenging especially if recently it became uniquely challenging due a new diagnosis or illness, a divorce or other challenging or traumatic event. It may feel hard to engage in life because your energy is low, confidence, or sense of meaning or purpose is waning. Possibly, you are trying to overcome a habit or ruminating thoughts that, in totality, challenge your sense of self and are hard even impossible to overcome. You are heard, and I am purposefully here to partner with you to grow ability to overcome, heal the heart and strengthen the mind.

My approach is eclectic based on your needs but I tend to you use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy regularly.
Choosing a therapist for yourself can be mind-boggling, especially when there are so many qualified professionals in the community! The search is not just about finding a GOOD therapist, but rather one that best fits YOU. You can't sleep, your thoughts are racing, you replay things in your mind, your inner critic is winning. Your struggling with the aftermath of current or childhood trauma/abuse. You feel confused, lost, and stuck. Your life feels void of meaning. You dread waking up. You're surrounded by people, but still feel alone. You have a secret you've been holding in. You're afraid of being judged.

Life can be stressful for adults, and children too. I specialize in working with youth, families, and adults to process their past traumatic events and childhood abuse. I utilize a cognitive behavioral, integrative approach, with a trauma informed lens and an emphasis on evidence-based therapies. I know that it can be difficult to talk about these events.

My methods are primarily cognitive- behavioral, and I also tend to integrate mindfulness practices.
I specialize in working with adults and teens on the autism spectrum who struggle with anxiety or depression, or who need support with navigating the academic, occupational, or social world.

Anxiety is a major obstacle that can get in our way of living the life we want. While a certain amount of anxiety is normal for all persons, those with excessive anxiety may find themselves experiencing constant worry, doubt, and self criticism. Depression, substance abuse and relationship problems often follow. However, these problems are manageable. But first you will need to understand your beliefs, your motivations, and behavior. I will work together with you to help you feel safe by learning to manage your thoughts, using evidence-based therapies which will help you develop insight into your situation.
