Parenting is constantly changing. The skillset you need for a toddler changes when you have a teenager. Those skills need to be adapted for each child. Often, while parenting your child, stuff from your childhood can come up. I will work with you to help you work through your stuff and adapt your parenting skills so that you can have a rewarding relationship with your child.

Many things can cause depression, and the treatment needs to be tailored to that individual. My goal with treating clients is to use CBT so that the client can start building skills to feel better sooner. If necessary, I will use psychodynamic techniques to unearth the causes of the depression to work towards lasting change.

I like to find out what is activating anxiety clients in their present life and to use Cognitive Behavioral techniques to treat them. Sometimes anxiety can be caused by faulty beliefs, and there are CBT techniques that can help replace faulty beliefs and ease anxiety. For some people, anxiety may be rooted in something experienced a long time ago that we may not be aware is the cause of the anxiety; psychodynamic work can help unlock the cause and help someone move forward.

I gravitated toward CBT because of all of the types of therapies. It has the most research that supports its use across various issues such as anxiety and depression. It can be powerful and helpful in a short amount of time. I aim to have my clients start feeling better as soon as possible. Each person has their own timeline in healing, and CBT helps to make one feel better soon. I use various techniques, including cognitive restructuring, journaling, relaxation, meditation, etc.

Psychodynamic therapy is the modern version of talk therapy. I like to use it when clients have issues that require more exploration of their past experiences to get to the root of the problem. While cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on present thoughts and behaviors, psychodynamic therapy looks deeper into a person's past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns to uncover root causes that may fuel current emotional struggles.
