About My Clients
I support teens, young adults and adults gain a better understanding and acceptance of their true self. I specialize working with teens facing anxiety, academic challenges, low self-esteem and ADHD. I support parents with understanding diagnoses, improved communication and connection and teenage defiance. With adults, I work through emotion regulation, improved relationships and enhancing self-awareness.
My Background and Approach
Have any of these thoughts ever crossed your mind? Setting boundaries is selfish. I don’t want to hurt the ones I love. I don’t have time to take care of myself the way that I’d like to. I don’t know what I’m feeling or why. I love my child and want our relationship to be better. These are normal thoughts for humans to experience. I hear these thoughts often and know how to provide support. I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT & DBT to support clients in reaching their goals. My goal is for you to develop increased self-awareness and have access to tools that you can carry with you at all times.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe we are all so. incredibly. busy. Many mental health challenges arise because we are not allowing ourselves the opportunity to slow down and simply check-in with ourselves day to day. I truly believe it is a gift that you are taking the time for yourself each week to invest in yourself! I believe that therapy is unique for each individual. Coping skills that may work for one person may invoke panic in another. Together, we will figure out what works best for you. I do not believe people can be placed in a box and do not take a "one-size fits all" approach with clients. I believe that pets are some of the biggest coping tools we have! I had dogs growing up my whole life and adopted a cat 3 years ago. I believe giving back to others is so helpful to our mental health. Some causes that are near and dear to my heart include the Michael J. Fox Foundation & Camp Kesem.
