Hello, I am a licensed clinician with a passion for helping young adults achieve happiness and success. I fully believe that, regardless of circumstances, with the right tools and support anyone can reach their goals. Currently I work mostly with adults and young adults, helping to successfully navigate life stressors while improving upon happiness and self worth. If you are reading this you have already taken your first step!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will briefly review your history and focus on what brought you to therapy. We will target specific goals and create an action plan together in which we will use to structure follow up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Over the last 12 years I have come to identify skill sets targeted specifically towards managing the time of transition from adolescence to young adulthood and beyond. I have successfully helped clients manage intense emotions, improve upon self-worth, create a sense of purpose, implement boundaries, and step away from the guilt and worry that so often consumes us.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have 10 years of experience in a multitude of settings using a wide range of CBT skills to help identify and challenge distorted core beliefs that often stem from Anxiety. Together we will work to identify and challenge thinking errors which will lead to better management of symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve decision making, increase self-worth, and improve overall functioning.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have 10 years of experience making use of DBT skills with a multitude of populations. I have found this evidenced based form of treatment exceptionally helpful to manage the high intensity of emotions that often come with diagnoses such as Borderline Personality Disorder and PTSD. Together we will create weekly measured goals and make use of DBT skills to improve upon emotion regulation, self-care, relationships, and reduce high risk or impulsive behaviors. DBT has provided many individuals with the opportunity to better explore their sense of purpose and value, improving upon motivation and self-worth.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I have 5 years of experience making use of ACT, particularly within the Young Adult (18-26) population as well as particular diagnoses such as Anxiety and OCD, and those with a history of trauma and/or substance use. This form of action-oriented treatment provides a space to begin to learn how to accept difficult or uncomfortable realities, empowering clients to take control of their behaviors. Together we will learn that acceptance is not "giving in" and the power we gain from taking control of these difficult situations as we face them head on.
