About My Clients
Mental health challenges are natural (even resilient) responses to difficult situations. That’s why I start with gaining a better understanding of the impact of your social identities and background. From here, we will work to address the root causes of your difficulties, while also managing your day-to-day stressors. I recognize that all parts of your life interact to impact your well-being, so a part of my work that is very important is treating the “whole” person.
My Background and Approach
Although I’ve worked with a diverse range of people, I specialize in working with children, teens and young adults with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, behavior difficulties, and attention/executive function difficulties. I especially enjoy supporting relationships and communication, as well as identity development and life transitions. I have significant experience providing individual and group therapy and conducting psychological assessments in the school, community mental health and child/adolescent inpatient settings. I have also worked with court-involved youth, clinically and through court-based evaluations, and have consulted with local police. Thanks for getting to know me a bit, and I truly look forward to working with you or your child in the future.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’ll support you throughout this process using a relational, person-centered and humanistic approach. I’ll also integrate different skills-based methods to help you cope with your specific needs (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy; dialectical behavior therapy; mindfulness techniques, and others). Bottom line: I’m here to help you achieve your goals and nurture the most fulfilling and connected life possible.
