Do you struggle with communication and finding healthy ways to express your emotions? Do you find yourself experiencing excessive worry, fear of impending doom, irritability, persistent sadness, or loss of interest in activities? Is it difficult for you to set boundaries? Do you struggle with being a people pleaser and often find yourself saying yes when you want to say no? Do you experience difficulty with completing tasks, forgetfulness, decision-making, racing thoughts, absentmindedness, and are primarily motivated by deadlines? Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about working with adults to find peace, healing, and resolution in their lives. I aim to create a space for my patients to feel comfortable and safe. I do not use a predetermined approach, but rather, I tailor the therapeutic experience to each individual client's needs and treatment goals. If we decide to work together, our goals will include helping you build coping skills and find resolution to daily life challenges. I am here to help you be the best version of yourself.
The first session with me involves an extensive discussion of your background, life, and daily struggles. We will also discuss the future, make plans for how the future could look brighter, and set goals for what you want to accomplish or skills you wish to build.
I start by meeting people where they are in life and I try my best to provide genuine understanding and support. It is very important to me that my patients feel heard and understood. I always welcome and encourage feedback - I want to make sure my patients are benefitting from therapy.
I love to work with adults who are struggling with interpersonal and relationship challenges. Another focus I have is helping patients work through life transitions that naturally occur in adulthood. I also work with adults who struggle to cope with symptoms related to ADHD, depression, and anxiety.
