Therapy is a strange and uniquely wonderful thing that can be intimidating. However, I believe that through a holistic approach that takes into account the bio-psycho-social aspects of the individual, we can decrease the discomfort. I practice in using evidence-based treatment modalities while striving for a direct and transparent working relationship. I have experience in working with many different issues, such as anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship conflict, physical and sexual trauma, and parent-child relationships. I especially enjoy working with teenagers and college students. My training and experience have brought me to adopt cognitive behavioral therapy, gestalt, and psychodrama as my main therapeutic modalities. I think that for an effective therapeutic relationship to work there needs to be above all trust, honesty, and non-judgment while taking a trauma-informed approach.
