Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, & more.
I have helped countless individuals manage and overcome some of the most common yet pervasive mental health struggles. It is my goal to de-stigmatize and, when appropriate, de-pathologize these issues and tackle them through a lens of compassion and transparency.
What can I help you with?
Here are some areas I have helped my patients navigate:
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
ADHD
-
Stress
-
Grief
-
Life Transitions
-
Relationship Issues
-
Autism
-
Social Anxiety
Everyone will face mental health challenges at some point in their lives. I consider it a part of my job to normalize this. Why? Because it is a natural part of the human experience and not something we should hide or deal with on our own.
​
Some of these issues arise from circumstance such as stress or grief. Some stem from our past experiences or trauma. Some come from being neurodivergent in a world designed for neurotypicals. I'm here to help you access the roots of your struggles and develop ways to cope, ways to accept, and ways to learn from them.
​
I tailor my approach according to each individual's needs. Need concrete change? Let's find the tools to do that. Need a safe space to process your feelings? I can offer you positive regard and empathetic understanding.
​
Here are some methods I utilize:
-
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to address unhealthy, distorted, or negative thought patterns which disrupt our thinking and functioning.
-
Art Therapy to express emotions in a nonverbal way, to practice mindfulness, and as a healthy outlet for our feelings.
-
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to learn acceptance of emotions, mindfulness, and identify values in order to enact positive change.
