My approach to therapy is to make clients feel safe and understood while challenging thoughts or habits that might be unhelpful. Although I tailor my treatment to meet the goals and needs of my clients, I implement a mix of evidence-based techniques. These include cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, and interpersonal process therapies. Using these techniques assists in learning more about yourself and identifying the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I can also teach useful skills to help improve coping and manage challenging situations. I welcome people of all races, sexual orientations, and gender.
Over the years, I have gained a level of expertise in the area of conducting psychoeducational and neurological assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults to determine cognitive strengths or growth areas as well as potential learning challenges. I conduct Autism and ADHD assessments and am ND-affirming as well as knowledgeable in PDA.
I am passionate about working with children and young adults from the ages of 5 to 22 years old who are experiencing anxiety, depression, learning difficulties, attendance issues, executive functioning/organizational deficits, and various social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. I am an experienced advocate for families who are navigating IEP's.
