My approach to therapy is to help clients change behavior patterns and build a life in line with their values. I collaborate with clients to identify their treatment goals within a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. I treat clients throughout the lifespan who struggle with anxiety, depression, child behavioral issues, parent-child conflict, OCD, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions. Additionally, I have experience treating concerns around perfectionism, body image, perinatal/postpartum issues, and family conflict. My goal is to help you get back to living your life with the right tools for success.
I specialize in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE). I often blend mindfulness and values-based interventions within my clinical practice to help clients develop flexibility.
If you or your child are struggling with emotional difficulties, you deserve quality, evidence-based, individualized treatment. I would be happy to speak with you about your concerns and my approach to treatment. Please reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
