Adolescence and young adulthood can be both the most exciting and trying time in one's life. Having a therapist to help navigate through those times can make all the difference in how one copes and moves forward. I strive to create a safe, supportive, engaging, and nurturing environment for each client. My clinical experience includes a specialization in the areas of eating disorders, self harm behaviors, and addiction, as well as the treatment of adolescents and adults who present with a range of issues such as, anxiety, mood disorders, family conflict, impulsivity, and difficult life transitions. I utilize both solution focused and insight-oriented therapy, applying principles largely from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I believe in treating the whole client, and welcome collaboration with psychiatrists, primary care providers, and nutritionists to ensure comprehensive care. Each client brings a unique set of challenges, as well as a unique set of strengths to the table. Using evidence-based techniques, I try to tailor my therapeutic approach to fit the needs of each individual. Together we will explore the cause of distress, as well as the maladaptive thoughts and behaviors.
