My Approach to Helping
I specialize in helping adults with stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, alcohol and substance use, and other addictions, obsessive compulsion, and trauma. I also bring warmth and acceptance in supporting clients with the various pressures of life, such as work, relationships, family, school, health, and finances. Whether you are looking for a place to vent your frustrations, someone to bounce ideas off of, or specific tools and strategies to manage symptoms or difficult situations, I am here to listen, to support you with empathy and compassion, and to collaborate together to build upon your strengths.
In my practice, I integrate the use of various approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), psychodynamics, attachment theory, interpersonal dynamics, existential exploration, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness.
Overall, my goal is to be an empathetic and nonjudgmental support who is here to listen while also helping you develop tools, techniques, and insights to feel empowered to better manage specific symptoms and situations.
