(she/her)
I am an eclectic therapist who uses methods from various disciplines to provide unique treatment for each client. I have worked in various environments including group homes, outpatient therapy offices, school counseling in both public and parochial schools. This mix of experience has given me a great deal of experience working with individuals, families, children and those with various difficulties.
During our first session we will go over any forms they have completed and provide time for the client to ask any questions regarding my background/experience. I will gather information about the individual's current functioning, what has brought them to therapy and other relevant information.
I feel that my varied experience is a great strength in my being a successful provider. I have an open mind which I believe is paramount trait when working with individuals. The goal of therapy is for the individual to live their life the best way THEY see fit and not as I believe they should be living.
I feel that I work well with a variety of clients. I have worked with individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, completing assessments for this as well. I have had much experience working with families who have children who experience symptoms of ADHD as well as learning issues. I have also had much success working with individuals who have experienced anxiety and depression. I find these individuals to be motivated to work on their issues which lead to their anxiety/depression. Partly this is due to the intensive suffering they experience due to their diagnosis.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I was trained in this method in grad school and also through personal trainings. I use this method of counseling along with other types of therapy to fit the needs of the client. Parts of Behaviorism, ACT therapy, and others may be used in conjuction with CBT. I have found this eleclectic approach to work well with many types of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, and interpersonal conflict.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT can be beneficial for those clients who are familiar with practices of meditation. While you do not have to be a master of meditating to benefit from this approach, understanding that our thoughts are connected to our feelings and that our minds can experience these feelings and learn to use those experiences to gain insight into our behavior.
