Establishing a strong therapeutic alliance/relationship is crucial. I can then teach my patients cognitive behavioral therapy(C.B.T.) principles which can help them deal with difficult behavior patterns and improve accuracy in their thinking. Relationship issues, mood disorders, communication difficulties, and destructive "habits" are often goals presented by my clients. Specifically, I specialize in areas such as depression/ anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, loss and bereavement, child/adolescent behavioral issues and couples therapy.

Sometimes pain is overwhelming, especially as a teen or young adult. You might be feeling sad, worried, or like no one else in the world understands. Maybe you are struggling in school or work, or having a hard time making friends. Or maybe you are in a difficult family situation, or are completely overwhelmed by what you want your future to be like. You may be noticing things like withdrawing from others or even physically harming yourself. Whether you're feeling sadness, anxiety, or a sense of isolation, it's crucial to recognize that you're not alone.

Emotions are complex entities, fed by our experiences, beliefs, and relationships they can be both difficult to express and understand.
