About me
Experienced adult and adolescent therapist focusing on OCD, anxiety, ADHD and insomnia
Hi there! Thanks for taking a peek at my profile. I enjoy working with all ages from adolescence to teens to adults. I've really narrowed down my craft in therapy to focus on anxiety, OCD through ERP, insomnia/sleep issues, ADHD, grief, and other interpersonal issues. When clients come to work with me in therapy we use a collaborative approach to increase rapport. As we build trust together I really hone in on honesty, transparency, and authenticity. The best way engage in therapy is by showing up as you are so I can meet you where you're at non judgmentally because harsh self criticism blocks us from self compassion.
With teens and adolescents I focus on building the relationship first and foremost since it's the most important part of therapy no matter what age. From there we really explore and process their current needs and focus on values to attach therapeutic goals to. As I work with adults the same process happens in tandem with mindful self compassion training.
The most important piece of any therapeutic work is the connection and care with clients. I love to utilize humor and relate to clients on a more human level. I know power dynamics can really get in the way of a client's true potential and work throughout therapy. With that said we will work together to push towards goals and values.
