My Approach to Therapy

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the assessment and treatment of stress, trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adolescents and young adults. Additionally, I have a secondary specialization in the management of Attention-DeficitHyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptomatology in adolescents and young adults, with a clinical focus on actionable strategies to improve executive functioning, emotional regulation, and reduce impulsive decision-making. I am also passionate about supporting adolescents and young adults who are experiencing anxiety and depression while having to navigating academic challenges, work stress, andor complex life transitions. Whether you are seeking support to cope with trauma, manage your symptoms of ADHD, improve your mood, reduce the severity of your anxiety, or looking to harness your natural strengths, my goal is to empower you with the practical tools and self-compassion needed to thrive. My clinical approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Mindfulness to assist clients in building real-world coping skills.

I have over twenty years of experience working with adolescents and young adults, and my career has spanned inpatient pediatrics, outpatient psychiatry, crisis intervention, and specialized residential care.
