About My Clients
Anxiety can sap the joy and freedom out of life, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m passionate about empowering my clients to reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress so they can live the lives they want. I use a scientific, individualized approach to helping adults and children feel calm, connected, and confident. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, adoption, parent-child therapy, trauma, and life transitions.
My Background and Approach
Life is challenging. In order to best support my clients as they cope with those challenges, I studied many different issues and approaches to growth and healing. I completed an MA in Counseling, an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy, and a PsyD in Clinical Psychology. Whatever you are facing, we can explore a variety of potential approaches to best meet your needs. I believe that everyone has a deep sense of what they really need to move forward. Here's a list of some of the approaches we might decide to use together: psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, performance enhancement, somatic, trauma-based, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I have dozens of techniques and practices to reduce anxiety that I've been perfecting over my career, and my goals is for you to have at least 3 that really resonate with you, so you can calm anxiety in the moment, prevent anxiety flare-ups in the future, and live a life in tune with your deepest values.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Two core values I hold are social justice, and the belief that people are innately resilient. I acknowledge systems of oppression and the impact that these systems have on people and on communities. I contribute to organizations that seek equality for all people, stateside and abroad. I spent 7 years of my career working at non-profit clinics. I believe that people have a desire and ability to seek wholeness and healing, and that as they find ways to connect to that deeper part of them, they resiliently navigate whatever challenges they are facing. I have been privileged to witness the beauty of resiliency, empowerment, and transformation in my clients. You are stronger than you know.
