At the end of your session with me, my goal is that you feel that you have been heard and validated. Some days you may learn a new skill or vent about the most frustrating issue you are going through. You will learn to process your anxieties and depressive thoughts. One day you may end a session and realize that the thoughts and feelings that have been a burden to you seem not so heavy or bothersome anymore. At the end of every session, my desire for you is that you feel encouraged, hopeful and more confident in your abilities to cope with your everyday life.

I use a variety of treatment methods. I listen to you, I provide empathy and unconditional positive support. I use CBT, DBT and client-centered techniques. I will give you tools that you can use to combat your anxiety, ADHD, or mood disorder or whatever you may be experiencing. I use psychoeducation to help explain your diagnosis, parenting skills, relationships or general coping skills.
