My Ideal Client

Most of the clients I see are having struggles with college/career development, grief and loss, PTSD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship conflict. Though these issues are challenging, they are not insurmountable. Psychoanalysis in therapy can begin to unravel the barriers to success and potential. I partner alongside clients so they may feel supported and gain confidence necessary to thrive in their personal goals and accomplish plans outlined in our sessions.

My Approach to Helping

Through years of client work, I've come to understand that although each client has their own life experiences, inherent needs of each person are very similar. Often clients are searching for a greater understanding of themselves, an understanding of their place or purpose in the world, as well as acceptance of those around them. My approach is to meet each of my clients where they are physically and emotionally to establish an environment where self-awareness and growth can occur. Whether you are seeking long-term therapy or brief solutions-focused sessions, I will provide a safe space for us to process any concerns you bring to the table. It is my hope that by the end of our sessions, you will leave feeling confident and motivated to accomplish your goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We reside in a world where perfection is standardized and there is little space for individuals to express their true, authentic selves. This is the case whether at work, in family settings or with friends. It may seem that others around us have perfect lives, when in reality there is a personal depth to those individuals that we do not see. My goal is to help clients realize that they have just as much inherent value as their peers, family members, or partners and that perceptions are not always what they seem.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • ADHD External link

    I've worked with clients to ensure they get diagnosed properly and can overcome barriers to inattentiveness, maintaining relationships, health and completing tasks.

  • Anxiety External link

    Many clients struggle with Anxiety, I utilize cognitive reframing and restructuring to help with rumination, hypervigilance and misperceptions.

  • Depression External link

    Overcoming depression takes a lot of work and understanding. It's important to meet clients where they are at and explore emotions as well as history behind depressive thoughts.

  • Self-Esteem External link

    Many times self-esteem more fragile than we realize and it's very easy to fall into a state of low self-worth. I work with clients to understand barriers and explore strengths so they begin to feel worthy in their everyday lives.

  • Loss or Grief External link

    Together I have worked with clients to process the immense pain that comes from experiencing loss. Sessions are spent reflecting on emotions, the experience itself and gaining an understanding of how to move forward.
