My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

My education and training originated in psychodynamic, meaning I will explore how current issues and concerns might have roots in childhood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)

This theory believes that thoughts create feeling and both affect the behavior. This method has been scientifically proven to improve anxiety and depression.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

This method asks the therapist to meet the client where they are with compassion
