She specializes in anxiety and depression, grief therapy, ADHD and behavior interventions, and provides meaningful support for caregivers and families navigating the unique emotional demands of dementia care.

First session
Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to guide clients in identifying patterns of thinking that may be contributing to distress. I help clients explore other possible responses to use when approaching challenges moving forward. Clients gain tools to identify inaccurate and negative thinking patterns. Solution focused therapy is used for goal setting and problem solving. This positive approach helps clients focus on the future by identifying what is currently working. "Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take that step." -quote by Naeem Calloway
