Philosophy:  I help people face the challenges in their lives that lead to an improved sense of wellbeing and purpose is my focus and passion. By creating a safe, trusting and collaborative environment, my clients feel seen and empowered to learn, grow and change.

 

Style: I help my clients identify their needs and work toward their goals using a person-centered approach. I build trust through balancing a caring, supportive style with honesty and candor. My clinical approach is both holistic and integrative, utilizing CBT, DBT, Behavioral Modification techniques, interpersonal skills training and psycho-education on wellness.

 

Specialties: I work with children, teens, adults and families seeking help with challenges that impact all areas of their lives.  I have extensive experience in supporting those with social skills deficits, trauma, and family instability, especially those with persistent anxiety and depression, ADHD, ODD and SUD.

​

My special focus is treating adults and children diagnosed with ADHD  through a multi-model approach involving education, DBT skills training, behavior modification and CBT.

​

Experience: My past experience as a clinician for an intensive psychiatric program granted me the opportunity to work intimately with clients and their families through a family systems approach, which fostered clients' renewed belief in themselves and their abilities.  

 

I look forward to working with you on finding solutions that move your life in a positive direction.
