Transitions are a part of life; but that doesn't mean they can't be quite a lot to handle! I specialize in helping individuals cope with transitional phases, whether that means adjusting to new environments and cultures, adjusting to changes that come with age, adjusting to a new school or job, or even adjusting to life with an acquired disability. Every individual at some point in their lives goes through an adjustment, and although many are perfectly poised to handle it well on their own, it never hurts to have some help during these difficult times.
Over the years I have worked with teens, adults, and older adults, in various settings including schools, universities, hospitals, clinics, and private practice. I have helped people cope with depression, anxiety, adjustment, trauma, brain injuries, cognitive issues, disabilities, medical issues, relationship issues, identity crises, loss, cultural adjustment, and more.
I believe therapy involves commitment, courage, and teamwork and I have a deep respect for those who are willing to get help during difficult times in their lives. My therapeutic style is eclectic and always catered to the individual, yet I typically utilize CBT techniques and a client-centered approach.
