I enjoy working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic illness, fertility and adoption challenges, and major life transitions.
I help people recognize their feelings, and then we figure out together how to manage through those feelings through various modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI). I feel assigning homework in between sessions can be a valuable bridge between our sessions.
