My practice primarily serves young adults, adolescents, children, and their families. I have experience working with a wide range of mental health issues affecting youth and young adults, including anxiety, depression, OCD, AD/HD, and tic disorders, among others, and enjoy this diversity in my practice. I also have more specialized experience working with eating disorders, gender diverse youth, complex medical conditions, and weight management. My approach varies based on your preferences and needs, but my primary modality is cognitive behavioral therapy, using elements of ACT, the Unified Protocol, and traditional CBT.
I have spent most of my career working in academic medical settings in which the importance of evidence based treatment models was emphasized. Although my work is often grounded in these approaches, I believe strongly that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is more important to fostering meaningful change than any specific therapeutic technique.
I prioritize creating an atmosphere that is warm, genuine, accepting, collaborative, and growth focused. It is essential that we are the same page about your goals, the purpose of treatment, the therapeutic approach, and other preferences you might have, so I will regularly ask for feedback about our work together and use that to make adjustments as needed.
