My Approach
Evidence-based, individualized care
Many of the people I work with come to therapy because they are feeling stuck or overwhelmed, seeking relief from anxiety or depression, needing support as they adjust to a change in their life, or are wanting to develop a better understanding of themselves. While we don’t have control over some circumstances in life, we can work to optimally navigate what comes our way. My goal is to create a non-judgmental and supportive space for exploration and change and to help my clients improve their sense of well-being.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience providing therapy. My background and theoretical orientation are heavily influenced by cognitive behavioral therapy with elements of mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies. During therapy, we will look at the relationship between your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and how they affect your daily experiences. We will identify key thoughts and specific barriers or behaviors that are interfering or impacting your quality of life. As we work together, I can offer tools and concepts that may be helpful for coping with difficult emotions, improving relationships, and changing unhelpful patterns.
