My ideal client is someone who wants to learn to love their true, authentic self. I refer to this as “finding your fire”; I want to empower you to set boundaries in your relationships, to find your inner strength, to establish a strong sense of self-esteem, and to discover what it is in life that brings your heart joy. Working to uncover and connect with your true self can foster positive relationships and success in many areas of life. I feel confidence is the core foundation to working on anxiety, depression, and various other concerns.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, behaviors, social skills concerns, and self-esteem issues. I work with children through adults but primarily specialize in working with teens. I also assist parents in developing skills to help manage their child's behavior. I use an adaptive approach consisting primarily of CBT, mindfulness, and coping strategies.
As your therapist, I will always refer to you as the expert. This means I will guide and empower you as you develop goals for yourself, build awareness, develop boundaries, and enhance your ability to cope with life's challenges. If you feel we would be a good fit, please reach out!
