Most of my clients are insightful, high achieving teens and young adults who excel in their academic/work lives, but struggle in their personal lives. They often come to me seeking strategies to overcome anxiety and stress, harsh critical thoughts, perfectionism, overthinking and rumination, obsessive thoughts, and self-doubt. My therapy style is focused on helping my clients gain genuine happiness, find more purpose and life fulfillment, improve their confidence, and deepen meaningful relationships. I hold a modern view of mental health treatment: one that is non-judgmental, relatable, humorous, and most importantly, goal directed.

I hold a warm and non-judgmental space while we move towards your goals together. My approach to treatment involves us reflecting on how your life experiences and environments have contributed to your emotional, behavioral, and psychological responses. From there, we can learn what works for you, what doesn't, and what you want to change. My perspective is informed by cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, which means we have multiple pathways for creating your treatment roadmap. Dr. Lisa Beckman is my licensed supervisor during my postdoctoral residency.

Sometimes understanding your child's learning, behavior, and/or social-emotional needs and how to help can be a challenge. But taking the first step in supporting your child is the most important one. In order to best help your child, a comprehensive psychological evaluation may be beneficial. Whether to better understand your child's strengths and weaknesses or to assist in treatment planning, early identification can reduce and prevent long-term negative outcomes. I specialize in the assessment of and treatment planning for children ranging from early childhood through early adulthood to help families better support their child.

If you are looking at this page it stands to reason that you or a loved one are dealing with a difficult time. Maybe life circumstances have stacked up and become overwhelming, and you want help taking your emotions out of the driver’s seat so that you can think clearly and prioritize. Perhaps you are recognizing that you are “stuck” in a pattern of behavior that is unhealthy, and want help making different choices. Maybe you are just looking for a healthy change, or trying to figure out what is blocking you from achieving the goals that you have.

We often struggle to cope with life’s stressors and feel as if we have little control over anxiety, depression, anger, unhelpful thoughts, unhealthy behaviors, and more. This often leads to feeling detached and disconnected in many ways. You may seek to learn ways to improve your sense of self and relationships, as well as bring you closer to what gives you meaning and purpose. This can include enhancing self-awareness, processing difficult experiences and emotions, and/or developing secure connections with others. In doing so, you can feel stronger and safer, and experience more fully what you value in your life.

I specialize in working with children and teens struggling with anxiety, stressful life transitions, perfectionism and ADHD. I'm passionate about making therapy a safe space for my clients to explore their challenges, develop coping strategies and build resilience, and create meaningful change. The students I work with are often high-achieving, yet overwhelmed with high expectations, struggle to stay focused, and experience intense worry and rumination. My goal is to empower my clients to discover more self-acceptance, manage their emotions effectively, and thrive in all areas of their lives.

Are you having difficulty communicating with your spouse or partner? Do you feel unheard or alone in your relationship? Maybe it feels like you are having the same fight over and over? If so you, you are in good company. The number one issue couples report is ineffective communication. Interestingly, research suggests most issues couples face are perpetual. The good news is solving these issues is not as important as learning how to have respectful communication about them. The better news is helping couples communicate more effectively about tough issues is my specialty.
