Services
Contact me for a consultation, and let's have a chat.
Individual & Family Therapy
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and related mental health concerns.
Anxiety comes in many shapes and forms, and the fears and worries of everyday life can become overwhelming. Depression can make everything seem hopeless and sap all the energy and motivation out of you. I take a collaborative approach and utilize evidence-based techniques to help you reach your mental health goals.
Trauma can trap a person in a seemingly never-ending "survival mode." The body's and mind's reactions to trauma, meant to protect the self from harm, can sometimes prevent someone from living the life that they want to live. I use evidence-based techniques from modalities such as Trauma-Focused CBT and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help people break out of the walls that trauma has created.
Parent Support & Coaching
Being a parent can be the most rewarding, and the most grueling, job in the world. I can help support you.
I can support you in your journey as a parent, guardian, or caregiver. Each child has unique strengths and challenges, and sometimes it is hard to balance the way you want to parent your child with the way your child needs to be parented, not to mention the external pressure from friends, family, and society telling you how they think your child ought to be parented.
I partner with you to celebrate your successes as a parent, troubleshoot your difficulties, and offer you supportive, research-backed parenting skills training that can help transform your household. When co-parents are in conflict, I can help both parents find common ground and work towards more harmonious parenting.
Workshops & Presentations
I offer mental health workshops and presentations on subjects related to teens, parenting, and anxiety.
I offer workshops and presentations on topics related to teen mental health, including anxiety and depression, benefits and risks of Internet/social media, addiction, and transition into adulthood. I can amend workshops and presentations to different target audiences.
I can facilitate parent psychoeducation groups and also offer parenting skills workshops based on evidence-based practices for different phases of childhood development.
I have specialized training and experience in the treatment of anxiety and related disorders. I can present topics on different modalities of management and treatment of anxiety and related concerns.
