I've provided individual and group therapy for at-risk youth, trauma-focused care for survivors of abuse, and relaxation training for adults experiencing anxiety and depression. I also teach mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills. I've conducted cognitive and personality assessments for those with learning, attention, and/or emotional concerns as well as pre-trial adult forensic evaluations. I value providing culturally-sensitive treatment if you wish to discuss your cultural background and/or religious/spiritual beliefs in therapy.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist trained in using the cognitive-behavioral approach to treatment, which involves looking at how your thoughts and beliefs about yourself, others, and the world influence your emotions and actions. We will work together to solve current problems in your life so that you can work towards achieving your goals.
A key aspect of therapy is building a strong therapist-client relationship that is genuine, empathic, and judgment-free. I value creating this kind of therapeutic atmosphere which will make it much easier for you to feel comfortable and open while discussing your life’s challenges.
