We'll identify and implement skills to decrease, eliminate or manage anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, parenting, identity, transitions, roles and responsibilities, relationship, rumination and more. I work with clients to process their experiences, manage their reactions, understand and change behaviors, explore their thoughts, leverage their skills and strengths, resolve internal and relationship conflicts and gain coping skills for mental health disorders. I use trauma sensitive, solution focused, multicultural, mindfulness, relational and motivational approaches to support clients. I use active listening, engaging responses, compassionate questioning, validation strategies and cognitive behavioral interventions to support clients in remaining committed to therapy as they challenge themselves to change well-established behavioral, cognitive and emotional patterns which they find frustrating but have relied on over time. You'll benefit from a warm, genuine therapeutic environment to help you feel safe in exploring the connections between desires, current challenges, past experiences and future hopes and goals. My approach is directive, structured, holistic and supports clients in developing more balanced and constructive ways to respond to stressors.
