I work extensively with tweens, adolescents, young adults, and adults in seeking relief from anxiety and related disorders, depression, ADHD, gender and sexual identity issues, developmental & relational trauma, self-esteem, and healing from attachment and childhood trauma where individuals have navigated a history of unmet needs and frustrating attempts to get them met. I also have a strong interest in working with adolescents in their transition to high school and/or college, stress management, emotional development and maturity, rejection from peers, family conflict, and friendship/interpersonal relationship issues I am extensively trained and practice from a firm foundation of Psychodynamic theory, integrating evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Mindfulness-oriented approaches. I'm also a registered yoga teacher (RYT) and utilize yoga and movement in session to encourage the mind-body connection. I strive to help clients uncover the deeper and more unconscious aspects of their experiences to increase self-awareness while also developing proactive and concrete ways to increase overall well-being and happiness. I value a collaborative and relational approach to therapy to ensure clients exercise their voice within their therapy experience.
