I enjoy working with a wide range of people and specialize in treating teens and young adults. My specialty areas include mood instability, anxiety, depression, issues related to gender identity and sexuality, difficulty launching into adulthood, and maladaptive coping mechanisms including self-harm and impulsive behaviors. I work well with people who are emotionally sensitive, may feel that they don’t belong, and have difficulty maintaining stable relationships. I strive to help people create a life that’s more enjoyable by learning to tolerate painful emotions and have more pleasant experiences.
My style as a therapist is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, while also being direct and active in the therapy process. I believe the therapeutic relationship works best when it's a real relationship between equals that involves mutual respect, collaboration, and sometimes humor.
I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I incorporate Mindfulness techniques to increase awareness of thoughts and emotions as well as promote relaxation. If you think I might be a good fit for you or your teen, feel free to reach out for a free consultation!
