About My Services
Welcome to my practice. We all feel overwhelmed and stressed at times and need a place to sort through our thoughts and feelings. I aim to provide a warm, supportive and confidential environment for you to process and explore what you are experiencing. I believe in the inherent goodness of people and their ability to make positive changes in their lives. Catering my treatment to meet the needs of each individual client, I will help you develop skills needed to manage life's challenges. I will provide some guidance to help you to explore challenging issues and emotions that will ultimately help you to achieve personal growth and well being. We will focus on your strengths, and work together to meet your goals.
I have fifteen years of experience treating a wide variety of mental health concerns. I have worked with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, stress, anger management, domestic violence, parenting, and children's behavioral concerns.
When practicing therapy, I generally use a cognitive behavioral approach combined with elements of psychodynamic theory, relational theory, and psycho-education. I often use DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) skills, mindfulness, breathing techniques, and expressive arts with those who are comfortable with the creative art process. I can also use a more traditional talk therapy approach. My approach is inclusive, intersectional, relational, strength based, and client centered.
