Therapy style

I have experience and training working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, difficulties with emotion regulation, and trauma. Therapy with me is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I am a certified diplomat through the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies. I work hard to provide a non-judgmental and safe space and I welcome feedback from clients. I want to collaboratively identify areas of difficulty and create a plan of treatment that makes you feel comfortable and confident about improvement in your mental health.
