Clinical Orientation & Approach

- I provide individual and couples therapy for adults and adolescents. My treatment orientation is cognitive-behavioral in nature meaning that we will mostly work on emotional awareness and understanding, acceptance, and coping skills. While we may use telehealth for certain situations, I am only accepting patients willing to meet in person.
- I am a therapist with proficiency in treating anxiety disorders such as panic disorder and PTSD, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, behavior problems such as anger and impulsivity, and situational problems.
- Regarding my interpersonal style, I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to work on their problems. I strive to create an atmosphere that is relaxed and like to mix in humor when appropriate. I encourage my clients to express feelings and needs about their treatment so we can make changes to enhance treatment.
