About My Clients
I love to work with neurodivergent young adults who are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, depression, and ADHD. Clients who work with me tend to like joking in session, being challenged with compassion, and working collaboratively to work towards their goals.
My Background and Approach
First things first, I would love for you to understand your diagnosis and symptoms as much as possible. Many people just go through therapy never knowing the "why." Would you trust a doctor who gave you medicine for a stomach ache without FIRST figuring it out what is causing the problem and SECOND explaining why the medicine will help? I wouldn't, so I try to explain myself well and ask good questions. I love to get into the science of mental health, so I love to teach the "why" in sessions. I also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help my clients meet their goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I want all who work with me to know they are respected and heard, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, etc. I work to make sure clients can talk about social concerns and systematic problems.
