Accepting new clients. I specialize in older adolescents and adults that find emotions get the best of you and you don't know what to do differently or better. If you are willing, I will work with you to learn effective skills that can bring you a sense of balance and a life worth living. I look forward to guiding you towards those solutions in a compassionate, collaborate setting. I specialize in anxiety disorders, self-harming behaviors, and teaching behavioral coping skills. I also provide parent coaching in these areas if you are a parent of a teen struggling with these issues. I work in various evidenced-based modalities such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I'm also trained in a parent intervention called SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), where I work directly with parents to treat the teen's anxiety disorder. It's not easy finding the right fit for you or your teen, and at the same time I understand how important it is to get to know your potential therapist without wasting valuable time. I offer free 20-min phone consults to see if we are a good fit. Please also visit my website to learn more about my work and background. I look forward to hearing from you!
