Therapist Overview
I specialize working with children (6-10yo), tweens (10-12yo) teens (13-19yo), young adults (19-30yo), and adults (over 30yo). The onset of puberty can trigger underlying depression and anxiety that are difficult to treat and can stay with a person for life. I treat children on the autism spectrum (ASD), the LGBTQIA+ population (particularly transgender and gender fluid youth), and adults and children with PTSD. I use an eclectic mix of approaches that incorporates CBT, Humanistic principles, and elements of Psychodynamic, Attachment, Object Relations, Holistic, and Transpersonal Therapy. I emphasize the benefits of transcendent experiences that integrate personal and spiritual growth with emotional growth. As author and psychologist David Richo noted , “Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.” Struggle and painful experiences are the fire that tempers our souls and shapes us into the people we were designed to be. The worst things that have happened to us bring us the greatest gifts.
