Welcome to my site. I have been working with adolescents and young adults for over 16 years. I work with teens, young adults and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, disorder eating, OCD, phobias, ODD, suicidal ideation, ADHD, relationship issues, addiction issues, or family conflict. My therapeutic relationship with my clients is not formal therapist in a suit taking notes but more personal and informal. At times, kids have a hard time being drawn out, they aren't sure how to put their feelings into words, I am very good at helping them become comfortable expressing what's happening in their inner world.
I work with clients using DBT skills, CBT exercises and talk therapy. I am open to collaborating with parents, with the client's consent, if that is deemed helpful by the teen or young adult client. Or it may be helpful for parents to see someone on our Parent Support Team in our practice.
My style is active and engaging. We get to work each session to uncover what is happening for your adolescent or young adult and get to the heart of what's really going on to cause the mental health issues they are struggling with.
