I specialize in treating teenagers, young adults, and adults. These transition periods can be difficult and often times misunderstood. The associated changes with any transition bring instability as the person passes through important periods of development. During this period, the person is typically required to make adjustments; however these adjustments are sometimes affected with negative and irrational thoughts. I believe that my specialized training and years of experience make me highly qualified to help with conflict that may come with this transition as they may indirectly affect school, career choice, and relationship.
My practice is founded on evidence-based therapeutic interventions. CBT is best suited for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and other mood-related issues. REBT is based on the idea that external events are not the cause of happiness or unhappiness, but rather the individuals' internal thoughts about the events or themselves.
My primary treatment approach is to teach clients to identify and challenge their harmful irrational thinking and develop more beneficial and rational habits of thought. The shift toward more rational thinking in turn enables clients to behave more effectively and to create healthy emotions.
