Though my clients are diverse in needs, I often work with clients with difficulties with self-esteem, confidence, and relationships, and I often work with clients who are neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, etc) and have social anxiety. I also work with many couples, who make up half my caseload. My clients want to be happier, more confident, make tangible changes in their lives, and be able to process difficult emotions and trauma.
I specialize in depression, anxiety, ADHD, social anxiety, creative individuals, and couples work. I will work hard to help you find your way with proven psychotherapeutic techniques that brings together different approaches to best meet your needs. I have training in CBT, dialectical-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches.
In the midst of the challenges of life, it can seem the way forward is cloudy and uncertain. I collaborate with you to build a map of your own individual way of working and strengthen your ability to navigate it to find your way forward. Through deep emotional processing and practical skill building we will create the best functioning "You."
