I am passionate about helping people feel better. I am trained to treat a variety of issues, but I have an emphasis on treating anxiety. Other common issues that I treat are relationship issues, OCD, depression, life transitions, family conflict, co-dependency, and self-esteem. My personal style is warm, supportive, and direct. I am solution-focused and like to give my clients specific coping strategies to use. I use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Psychodynamic approaches and interventions to understand, conceptualize, create behavior change, and alleviate symptoms.
