Looking for mental health help is an important step in one’s personal journey. The next crucial piece is finding rapport with a therapist—maybe the most important part of therapy. Perhaps you struggle with anxiety or depression, or are at a crossroads in your work or personal life, whatever the case may be, our work will examine the complex array of emotions, patterns, and history that inform your feelings and actions. I have training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Imago, Mindfulness, and broader psychodynamic work and take a creative approach in treatment, putting together a range of interventions tailored to each individual client. I work with clients of all ages, across the lifespan and have deeper experience working with college and post-collegiate aged adults, new mothers, and anyone dealing with life transitions. I have also worked with teens struggling with gender and sexual identity and how those important concerns have intersected with their cultures.
I believe that a strength-based perspective helps a person to reconsider his or her conception of self and this can aid a person in working toward a growth mindset. I have also studied the use of mindfulness for managing anxiety and gaining the self-awareness necessary for living a calmer, less reactive life. We can work together on learning coping strategies and how to implement them to help you cope more confidently.
