Current Waitlist. Looking for and reaching out to a therapist for support takes a lot courage and can be time sensitive. For older teens and adults I enjoy using a relational approach in order to maximize the therapeutic relationship as this is the anchor for treatment. I enjoy the transition from high school through college and beyond as you navigate so many transitions and issues that can arise such as anxiety, eating issues, relationship challenges, mood changes, and large approaching life decisions. I also enjoy working with healthcare providers as burnout rates soar.
I use Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills and Exposure Response Prevention Therapy as well as other modalities I have received training in to best provide you with individualized support. I use a trauma informed lens as well as the HAES model with all clients.
You are the expert when it comes your life and I would be honored to assist you in furthering your potential. Reaching out is the first step. Choose to take a step forward today and contact me for a brief consult. You've got this!
