I support children, teens, adults, couples, and families on their journey through a holistic lens, while looking at the “whole person". I am passionate about supporting those struggling with anxiety, anxiety related disorders (social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, self-esteem, body image, body dysmorphic disorder, body-focused repetitive behaviors, life transitions (school, motherhood, friendship, family, marriage, divorce, career, etc), relational difficulties, stress management, communication skills, chronic illness, and trauma.
I have a solid foundation in evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure therapy (ERP), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Play Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These approaches are effective in helping clients navigate their challenges and develop tools to thrive!
I view therapy as a partnership. I am committed to partnering with you, using an integrative approach, so that you can feel comfortable, build trust & develop an understanding of your individualized goals. It is my goal to make this space a place where you can begin to process all of life’s ups & downs, while feeling empowered to be your true authentic self.
