Therapist Overview
I do my best work with people who feel disconnected, lost, or overwhelmed. I do well with those who have endured long-term emotional abuse and have complicated families. I work well with people who are teachers or who work in other high-stress/helping professions. My approach is collaborative, empowering, nonjudgmental, trauma-informed, & goal focused. I integrate modalities such as ACT, CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, affirmative therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques. My experience has primarily been with adults with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders & with children in school settings. I also specialize in PTSD, working with immigrant populations, and with people who have insomnia (trouble sleeping). If you’re wondering if life always has to be this hard, the answer is no. Send me a message or give me a call.
