Therapy

My Mission

I seek to provide mental health support and believe that every person has the innate ability to heal themselves.

My philosophy is simple: I provide compassionate care anchored by approaches that are empirically valid including cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy while using a strengths-based foundation. Therapy is feedback informed, which means that I ask you for feedback each session about what is working and what is not, and areas you would like to work on so that we can continue to meet your goals.

I am here to help.

Individual Therapy

---

Individual therapy involves working one on one with a licensed mental health professional to help you feel better emotionally. I create a safe space that is collaborative and confidential. Whether you are coping with major life challenges, depression or anxiety, or simply want to make changes to your life, I am here to support you on your journey. Depending on the objectives you set, we may work together for a few sessions or throughout several years.

Individual therapy sessions typically last 60 minutes. The frequency and duration of therapy depends on your needs, treatment goals, and progress.

Strength-based approaches to therapy build on inner strengths instead of trying to fix weaknesses or perceived deficits. Identifying your core strengths and helping you to build your concept of who you are around those is one of the pieces of strengths-based work.

While strengths do involve skills, strengths are more than what we do. They are traits that encompass who we are and apply across many different situations in our lives.

I will help you to first work identify your strengths to determine ways to use those strengths to improve your life.

My work with Children

I work with children ages 7-17 on issues related to

In my work, I meet for 10 minutes with the parent at the beginning of each 60-minute session and then alone with the child. I use a variety of approaches including playing games with your child while we talk. This allows for a play therapy approach. I ask that parents not discuss problem behaviors with the child in the room so that they can understand that therapy is a safe space. We can discuss issues further in a parent session alone.
