I provide individual therapy to clientele affected by both short-term and longer-term difficulties. I enjoy working with children as well as with adults. With children, I work with presenting issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, behavioral challenges, stress management, coping skill development and refinement, and adjustment difficulties (including to the pandemic). I structure my sessions with youth and their families using a hybrid model, spending half of each session working with the parent(s) to refine a variety of parenting skills, and half of each session working directly with the child.
With adults, I work with presenting issues including anxiety, depression, grief, stress management, coping skill development and refinement, and adjustment difficulties (including to the pandemic). I draw from a combination of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and insight-oriented treatments in a manner tailored to best meet a client's unique needs.
I work in a collaborative fashion to instill confidence, facilitate emotional expression, improve communication, and increase coping strategies. I help foster insight into past behaviors to facilitate making healthier choices for the future. I use a mixed and individually tailored approach, emphasizing an individual's strengths.
