I work with each person's innate strengths to help them improve life long after therapy has terminated. I work to find the root of problems and help people solve issues beyond just coping strategies. My approach to therapy is solution focused, grounded in research, and rooted in a strong therapeutic relationship. I help clients identify ways to alter their thoughts, behavior, and environment to improve and change old patterns that may be keeping them stuck. I specialize in work with adults, college students and teens who may be driven, high performing & perfectionistic and struggle with anxiety, low self-worth and/or low mood. I help people connect to their meaning and purpose and work through the issues that block it. Anxiety OCD, stress, panic, life transitions, relationships issues, & depression are specific disorders and challenges I treat. I personalize treatment to the unique needs of each client and integrate CBT, ACT, exposure therapy, and solution focused strategies. The relationship between a therapist and an individual is invaluable. I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is a necessary condition for change to occur in treatment. Goodness of fit is so important and I'm happy to offer complimentary phone or email consultations to see if we might be the right fit for one another.
