Hi there, I'm Ruby!

Do you often feel overwhelmed or weighed down with feelings of anxiety, sadness, negativity, or emotional stress? Would you like to have a better understanding and control over your emotions? If you find it difficult to manage your feelings, come talk to me. Together we can develop strategies that will give you the tools to address the root causes of your struggles.

My approach

I utilize Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a focus on Anxiety and Depressive Disorders. My approach draws upon Interpersonal, Strength-Based, and Supportive modalities to help you build coping skills, boost self-esteem, navigate life transitions, and improve your relationships.

My focus

I have experience working with teens and adults struggling with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, divorce, family conflict, job stress, and relationship problems. Whether you are an adolescent or an adult, I am here to provide a non-judgmental space for you to talk through your challenges.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I aim to create a supportive therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in your life. I will work closely with you to identify your unique strengths and develop practical strategies tailored to your specific needs and goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2014 and completed my PsyD in Psychology in 2019. My journey into mental healthcare stems from a deep desire to help others overcome personal obstacles, build resilience, and lead more fulfilling lives. With a strong foundation in evidence-based practices and a passion for empowering individuals, I am committed to supporting you on your path to emotional well-being.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, so you can develop effective coping mechanisms and build a more positive outlook on life. Together, we will work on enhancing your self-awareness, strengthening your relationships, and equipping you with the tools you need to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

My first session with you

During our first session, we will take the time to discuss your current concerns, history, and goals for therapy. This will allow me to gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique situation and begin developing a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs. You can expect a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings, and we can start building a strong therapeutic alliance.
