My Approach

My approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of therapy and strive to build a strong connection with my clients.

My Mission

My mission is to support you throughout your journey by offering strategies and techniques based on evidence and a strength-focused approach. Together, we will collaboratively develop goals and, with your consent, make use of additional resources such as primary care and holistic care when needed. I offer you a secure and completely confidential space with three key limitations: if someone is causing you harm, if you have a plan to harm yourself, or if you have a plan to harm someone else.

AREAS OF FOCUS

Anxiety Disorders, Adjustment Disorder, Parenting Support, Depression, Mood Disorders, Trauma Symptoms, Grief Symptoms, Self Esteem, Social Skills, Emotional Regulation, and Conflict Resolution

OUR EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT APPROACHES & TECHNIQUES

Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Practices and Techniques
