I enjoy working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal relationships, and life transitions. My treatment approaches are Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy, CBT, and Family systems. Through therapy I support individuals in shifting their perspective to facilitate healing, and create healthy ways to cope. I often times will incorporate different modalities depending on the client's needs. My practice focuses on working with adult individuals who are looking to enrich their lives and relationships. **Specializing working with adults and older teens (15-18) only***
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In session I provide a non-judgmental space for clients. I like to incorporate psycho-education to help you understand your diagnosis, symptoms, and evidence-based treatments. I find this helps to improve your own understanding of your experiences as well as it makes it less scary or confusing. Through compassion, empathy, and a non-judgmental space you can leave session feeling confident about our work together. As a client, you can expect to develop skills to cope with everyday stressors, shift negative thought patterns, internal dialogue, and responses that impact your life to improve your overall well-being.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a variety of evidence-based practices to help clients achieve mental wellness. Clients will have the opportunity to develop healthy coping skills, restructure their thoughts, and improve their overall well-being. Each client will be individually assessed and an individualized treatment plan will be developed based on their needs. I encourage clients to build self awareness, and confidence in practicing the skills they have learned in sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My niche area is working with individuals who struggle with anxiety symptoms. I find that most if not all people experience anxiety at some level or another and I have a passion for identifying ways to help individuals cope with their anxiety symptoms in a way that improves their overall well-being.
