I use evidence-based treatments of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) including Trauma-Focused (TF- CBT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Therapy can be a comfortable place to unpack life’s “uncomfortable” moments. I believe therapy is collaborative and that a relaxed, honest and, at times humorous, communication style is important to creating an authentic environment. Personal growth best happens in a compassionate and supportive atmosphere. I am a licensed independent social worker who specializes in treating children, adults and families who seek a greater understanding of how their behaviors and emotions are connected to their life experiences. I can help you discover how your own natural strengths can be used to foster resilience and independence.

I utilize an integrative therapy approach, mostly made up of a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), strengths-based, and narrative therapy.
On the surface, you seem fine - to everyone else. It looks like you have your stuff together, deadlines are met, and you're juggling five hours' worth of work in two hours' time. But inside, something is desperately, completely wrong. You jump at the smallest sounds. You keep busy to keep the anxious thoughts from having any space. And at the end of the day, you can't fall asleep.
Does this sound familiar? Don't worry, I've been there, too. I've felt like my life was falling apart, only to be told that I'm "doing so well!" when I voiced my concerns.
