I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, including adolescents, families, and adults. I have extensive experience in assessing clinical concerns, diagnosis, therapy and consultation with medical professionals & educational staff.

 

I tailor my treatment approach to your unique needs.  We can decide if short-term, solution focused therapy or longer term therapy best fits your situation, depending upon the goals we set together.

 

I will take time to get to know you as the individual you are, while assessing your daily challenges and current concerns in a non-judgmental environment.  I will help you identify your internal strengths to use as a daily resource.  I will actively guide you through exploring past wounds, reframing thoughts for a deeper understanding, and creating positive steps towards change.

Teen Specialities

  • Anxiety treatment:  OCD, Specific Fears/Phobias, Panic Attacks, & Excessive Worrying.

  • Depression

  • Eating Disorders

  • Parenting support & coaching

When working with teens, I have experienced faster progress when parents are involved in treatment.  I aim to develop a strong connection with my adolescent clients, allowing me to provide guidance through a difficult developmental stage.  I find that therapy sessions focused on parent-teen communication improves family relationships and a well-timed parent session can make all the difference.
