Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
We will collaborate to identify your challenges and goals - where you want your future self to be over the course of our therapeutic relationship. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past three years. It’s helped several of my clients challenge intrusive and recurring thoughts as well as and manage their anxiety and depression. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to reframe your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I’ve been using DBT in my practice for the past three years. It’s helped several of my clients challenge regulate their emotions and impulsivity as well as and manage their anxiety. We’ll use DBT to recognize how to process an influx of emotions. We’ll then use that knowledge to manage emotions and impulsive behavior patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
