About

I employ a range of therapeutic modalities and techniques tailored to each individual's needs. Through a thorough initial interview and diagnostic process, I gain a comprehensive understanding of the underlying issues and their origins. While not everyone requires a mental health diagnosis, this assessment helps inform the treatment approach. I prioritize the your growth and healing, ensuring you receive compassionate care in a warm and welcoming environment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the primary modalities I use, it addresses conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more by targeting negative thinking patterns and replacing them with helpful thoughts. Family education, training, and behavior modifications support families in understanding and changing negative behaviors in children. Motivational Interviewing helps individuals explore the benefits of positive change, even if initially resistant. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) assists in emotion regulation, while Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) effectively addresses unresolved trauma and grief. Throughout the therapeutic process, clients can expect education, support, and guidance from myself, as I am dedicated to your growth and healing.
