My approach
Some common approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Gestalt, and Solution Focused Therapy. However, the best approach for your needs will be decided collaboratively.
My focus
I specialize in adolescent self-harm, bullying, and OCD, as well as adult OCD, anxiety, depression, and supporting parents separated from their children. I also work on parenting skills and knowledge using a Social Learning Theory approach.
My communication style
Working with me should feel natural and comfortable. The environment I create offers the support and safety you need to acknowledge and address your concerns. You may even meet my cat, who likes to make a video appearance from time to time.
My goals for you
Goal setting is always collaborative. Together, we will identify your goals and the steps needed to achieve them.
My first session with you
Expect the first session to focus on getting to know you and your story. This allows us to learn about each other and decide if we are a good fit. I want you to feel comfortable discussing what is or isn’t working for you.
