“I believe everyone has the ability to heal.”
Let’s face it, life can be difficult and filled with unexpected challenges. We all experience negative thoughts, feelings and events. However, in therapy we can learn to distinguish which situations we have control over and where things are out of our hands. By recognizing the difference, we become empowered to overcome our challenges
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that therapy is not a one size fits all which is why I tailor all my sessions to meet your unique needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts and feelings influence your behaviors, and I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you learn to regulate your emotions and better accept and tolerate distress.
I am particularly passionate about working with individuals struggling with depression and dysthymia, who have not found success with therapy in the past. Depression robs you of enjoying good things in your life. I use behavioral activation to help you slowly incorporate enjoyable activities, and routines back into your life.
I also enjoy working with individuals struggling with OCD and anxiety and use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you work through your anxiety, confront your fears and reduce your compulsions, so you can go back to living a life you love.
I work with teens, adults, families, and couples experiencing stress, anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, family or relationship conflict, anger, communication and self- esteem challenges. Together, we will take a collaborative approach to identify what you want to improve with your mental health, what you want to achieve from therapy, and how to get there.
I believe everyone has the ability to heal. In therapy with me, you will gain healthy coping skills and tools to help you navigate life challenges, manage emotions, build relationships, and empower yourself. I look forward to the opportunity to work together and guide you on your journey toward recovery and personal growth.
