I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance as the greatest mechanism for change. During our time together I will hear you, support you, empower you, and challenge you. My approach in each session is tailored to your individual needs, and we will decide collaboratively what works best for you to reach your full potential in growth and self-discovery. Expect me to be curious, empathetic, humorous, and an active listener.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults, individuals diagnosed with mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and adjustment disorders, as well as individuals with symptoms of depression, anxiety, mania, poor impulse control, low frustration tolerance, and those struggling to cope with various life stressors. I draw from multiple modalities, including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strength-based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Humanistic Approach, Mindfulness Techniques, and Supportive Psychotherapy.

Additional areas of interest and experience: Communication Techniques, Relationship Stress, Work Related Stress, School Related Stress, COVID Fatigue and/or Trauma, Play Therapy, Completion of Trauma Focused-CBT course, and Completion of DBT certification course.

In approaching therapy, I consider two fundamental elements of human existence; the inextricable link between the mind and body and our need for connection and a sense of purpose. With these ideas at the foundation of my practice, I tend to incorporate methods and concepts from Supportive and Strengths-Based Psychotherapy, Humanistic Psychotherapy, Existential Psychotherapy, Relational Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I feel strongly that each person benefits from a customized practice that may draw from multiple applicable modalities. I encourage candor, collaboration, and feedback, in the rewarding and challenging work we will do together.

I have experience treating mood, psychotic, and anxiety disorders, as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Acute Stress Disorder.

Additional areas of interest and experience: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Grounding techniques, Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing, Self-image, Interpersonal communication, Death Anxiety, and Existential Stress.
