I provide a safe haven where individuals of all ages are not just acknowledged but embraced and assisted in their journey of self-discovery. My approach One of the main modalities I use in my practice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where we explore how your thoughts affect your emotions. During treatment, you will learn how to question and push back against those thoughts and notice how your feelings reflect this inquiry. My focus I work with clients who may be struggling with self-esteem and acceptance related to their relationships and family. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, difficulties with stress, self-esteem, school issues, familial relationship challenges, and suicidal ideation. I also work with clients who may be LGBTQ+ or questioning, as well as with parents of youth who are LGBTQ+ and may be struggling with adjustment.
