Attachment Theory

Attachment theory sits at the foundation of my therapeutic approach. I have extensive training in concepts associated with attachment theory and help parents understand both their chid's and their own attachment style to help identify obstacles in parenting and other family relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT principles and interventions are among the most commonly utilized in my practice. This transdiagnostic approach aims at building a different relationship with one’s internal world in a manner that promotes flexibility, self-compassion, and connection to self.

Family Systems

In my training to become a psychologist, I have worked with families to help identify factors in their family dynamics and individual relationships that keep them stuck in harmful relational cycles. I rely on principles associated with Family Systems theory to help me understand the inner worlds of families and how to help foster positive change.

Anxiety

I have experience and training in treating anxiety disorders that include generalized anxiety, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I support clients in shifting their relationship with their thoughts and feelings in order to support their capacity to access relief and attain their goals.

Parenting

Parenting is hard. It only gets harder when children are facing mental health issues. I have expertise in issues pertaining to child and adolescent psychology that I utilize in helping parents better understand and meet the needs of their children.

Child or Adolescent Issues

I have dedicated my training to issues pertaining to child and adolescent mental health, including difficulties associated with parenting children whose moods and behaviors can be challenging to predict and manage.

PTSD

Unresolved trauma can have a significant impact on one's ability to navigate various aspects of their daily lives. By processing the past and creating a coherent and integrated narrative about their life experiences, individuals can feel more intentional, in control, and fulfilled in their connections to their family and themselves. Certified in Therapeutic Life Story Work.

Autism

I spent a year of my doctoral training learning how to assess and treat issues associated with autism spectrum disorder. I now specialize in helping parents understand how autism-related neurodevelopmental differences impact the way their children thinks, behaves, and relates in order to help with adjustment in the wake of diagnosis.
