​I work towards supporting my clients in developing insights, overcome obstacles, and uncovering the version of themselves they seek to find. I understand that in the face of challenges, this becomes an incredibly daunting task. I offer a non-judgmental and compassionate space for clients to feel heard and understood. I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, relationship issues, and life transitions. I utilize DBT, CBT and ACT along with Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems approaches, incorporating behavioral techniques as needed.
My experience ranges from treatment centers, hospitals, schools, closed and out-patient facilities. My approach is through use of radical genuineness, humor, and empathy to find the patterns in your life that are no longer helping along with behavioral therapies and psychodynamic techniques to reach your life best lived.
I welcome you to reach out to me so that we can schedule a free 15-min consultation to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
