About
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life challenges. My counseling style is warm and supportive. My therapeutic approach combines psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral treatment. I look forward to working with you. Starting therapy can be overwhelming. Congratulations on starting your journey of self discovery. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. I may adapt my practice to meet your specific needs. Your goals and progress are my primary focus to identify challenges and work on strategies
