About My Practice

I work with adults, teenagers, and children ages 10 and up who are ready to actively engage in therapy, not just to talk about problems, but to build skills and create meaningful change.

 

Many of my clients come in feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, self-criticism, or emotional reactivity. Teens and children I work with often struggle with big emotions, low confidence, impulsivity, or difficulty managing stress at school or in relationships. Adults frequently describe feeling capable on the outside, yet internally exhausted by rumination, doubt, or patterns that no longer serve them.

 

My work is grounded in TEAM-CBT, a structured, evidence-based approach that emphasizes clarity, collaboration, and measurable progress. At the same time, I integrate tools from ACT, DBT, and relational approaches, allowing therapy to be both practical and emotionally attuned. This means we don’t just work on what to change, but also on how to relate differently to thoughts, emotions, and internal experiences.

 

Therapy with me is active and goal-oriented. Together, we identify the beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns that keep you, or your child, stuck, and we practice concrete strategies to shift them in real time. I place strong emphasis on helping clients build genuine self-esteem, emotional regulation, and confidence that extends beyond the therapy room.

 

I especially enjoy working with motivated clients and families who want to:

  • - Reduce anxiety, rumination, or obsessive thinking

  • - Strengthen emotional regulation and distress tolerance

  • - Build authentic self-worth and self-trust

  • - Improve relationships, boundaries, and communication

  • - Learn tools they can continue using independently

 

With teens and children, I focus on helping them understand their emotions, feel more empowered, and develop skills they can realistically apply at school, at home, and socially, while also collaborating with parents when appropriate.

 

I believe therapy works best when clients become active participants in their own growth. I bring warmth, depth, and respect to the work, while also helping clients gently confront avoidance and move toward the changes they want, even when it feels challenging.

 

If you’re thoughtful, motivated, and ready to take action, we’ll likely be a strong fit.
