Reflect, motivate, empower

 

If you're looking for a straightforward, non-judgmental approach, with empathy and warmth, I may be the right therapist for you. I believe that everyone, no matter what age, has the capacity to grow and learn.  I am very down to earth and incorporate a gentle sense of humor into my sessions. It is my personal goal to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere for you to freely express yourself, self-reflect, and move towards desired goals. As a therapist, it is my job to instill hope, motivate, and empower you. Goals will be set collaboratively and together we will explore life experiences and thought processes. Building a trusting relationship will set the foundation for your growth and success.

 

I specialize in adolescents, especially those who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues. Other areas of interest and expertise include medical disease management, intimate partner relationship issues, transitioning from one life phase to another (e.g. moving out and going to college), and gender non-conforming children.

I tailor treatment to each individual client and utilize different therapeutic approaches ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy to EMDR. I offer both short and long-term psychotherapy for adolescents and adults.
