I am a therapist with a Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts degree, specializing in helping individuals and minors aged 13-17 with challenges such as anger management, anxiety, coping skills, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem, stress, trauma, and PTSD. My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative environment where clients can express their thoughts and feelings openly.
My approach
My approach to treatment is based on the principles of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I am drawn to this approach because it provides a clear structure that is accessible to clients from diverse backgrounds. CBT is collaborative and allows clients to be active participants in their treatment. I believe this empowers clients and instills hope for the future.
My focus
I work with individuals and minors aged 13-17 dealing with a range of challenges, including anger management, anxiety, coping skills, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem, stress, trauma, and PTSD. My aim is to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals.
My communication style
I strive to foster a healthy therapeutic relationship by providing a non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe expressing their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I invite clients to share their perceptions of how well treatment is working and whether adjustments to the plan are needed. By attending to the therapeutic relationship in this way, I aim to establish trust and safety.
My goals for you
My goal is to empower you to take an active role in therapy, develop effective coping strategies, gain new perspectives, and make meaningful progress toward your objectives. I am committed to supporting you on your journey with compassion and without judgment.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to develop a shared understanding of your background, current challenges, and aspirations. This will allow us to collaboratively establish goals and a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. You can expect me to listen attentively, ask questions to deepen my understanding, and begin building a foundation of trust and rapport.
