I help adults and adolescents coping with disorders such as anxiety, depression, and substance misuse. Together, we work to reduce the symptoms of these disorders while gaining insight on the causes underlying them. I have specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and adult attachment. I also have published work on social and emotional intelligence and conducted research on addictions. My passion is to help my clients to become the best possible versions of themselves.
My role as a therapist is to listen, to hear my client and reflect back what I've heard, and to help my client make meaning of experience. I also help clients change unhelpful patterns of thought that negatively affect their actions and feelings. I focus on those feelings, and help the client to experience them without being overwhelmed.
The ultimate goal of treatment is emotional regulation and resilience. This enables you to develop and maintain healthy relationships, find greater satisfaction in work and life, and to become who you were meant to be. I look forward to helping you find a better way of being.
