Being a human being is HARD! Adults of all ages—young adults, older adults, and everyone in between—can benefit from supportive therapy to help navigate life’s challenges.

I provide treatment for a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress management, identity, self esteem, relationships, family conflict, grief and loss, and trauma.

I draw from different therapeutic approaches in my work with teens and pre-teens, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: CBT is a treatment approach that helps you recognize negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT aims to help you identify and explore the ways your emotions, thoughts, and actions are connected and influence each other. Once you notice these patterns, you can begin learning how to change your thoughts and behaviors.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy: DBT informed therapy includes teaching skills to help respond to strong emotions. These skills are Mindfulness (the practice of being fully aware and present in this one moment); Distress Tolerance (how to tolerate pain in difficult situations, not change it); Interpersonal Effectiveness (how to ask for what you want and say no while maintaining self-respect and relationships with others​); and Emotion Regulation (how to change emotions that you want to change).

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: ACT is a psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious person, and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behavior in the service of chosen values.
