Psychotherapy for Adults
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, depression, chronic pain, relationship difficulties, grief, or major life changes. Others simply feel stuck and want help understanding what is getting in the way of living the life they want.
My goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel safe exploring challenges that may have become difficult to manage alone. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain perspective, develop new skills, and make meaningful changes.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), panic disorder, chronic pain, and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). My approach is grounded in evidence based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). I also incorporate trauma informed approaches when appropriate.
Therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical strategies for moving forward, and work toward goals that matter to you. Whether you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, difficult emotions, chronic symptoms, or a challenging season of life, therapy can help you build confidence, increase flexibility, and create lasting change.
Psychotherapy for Children and Adolescents
Children and teens do best when they feel understood, supported, and challenged to grow. My work with young people focuses on helping them better understand their thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and behaviors while developing practical skills to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.
I work with children ages 10 and older and treat concerns such as anxiety, OCD, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral concerns, school related stress, and adjustment to life transitions. Sessions are tailored to each child's developmental needs and may include discussion, drawing, games, role playing, and other interactive activities that help young people learn and practice new skills.
Parents are an important part of the treatment process. I view parents as essential partners and provide guidance aimed at strengthening the parent child relationship. My goal is to help parents become confident, sturdy leaders who can support their children through challenges while maintaining clear expectations, healthy boundaries, and emotional connection.
Treatment begins with a thorough assessment process to better understand the concerns that brought your family to therapy. From there, treatment goals are developed collaboratively with both parents and the child. The length of treatment varies depending on the nature and complexity of the concerns being addressed, but throughout the process we work toward clear goals, increased independence, and lasting change.
