I incorporate CBT-based interventions in my practice to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and unhelpful behaviors. I teach helpful coping skills such as thought reframing, behavioral activation, relaxation techniques to manage anxiety, worry, and stress. This is an evidenced-based intervention that provides actionable steps that help clients build resilience and cope more effectively with life's challenges.

I use solution-focused therapy as a goal-oriented, future-focused approach that helps clients build on their strengths and existing resources rather than focusing solely on where their problems began. This approach empowers clients to create achievable solutions and build momentum toward their goals in a safe and welcoming space.

I incorporate person-centered therapy by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space grounded in empathy for my clients. This approach allows clients to guide the direction of sessions while exploring their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. By fostering a safe therapeutic relationship, clients are empowered to build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, and move toward personal growth and self-acceptance.

I support clients in identifying and understanding ADHD-related challenges while developing practical strategies to manage symptoms. These may include difficulty with focus, organization, forgetfulness, impulse control, and emotion regulation, as well as challenges in relationships. Together, we work to build skills, increase self-awareness, and create systems that support your daily functioning and overall well-being.

I work with clients who experience anxiety in many forms, including constant worry, specific fears or phobias, and social anxiety. I support clients in understanding their triggers and how anxiety shows up emotionally and behaviorally. Together, we build tools to challenge and reframe anxious thoughts, while developing coping strategies that help you feel calmer, more confident, and better able to navigate everyday situations.
