- I am a registered psychological assistant and my primary therapeutic approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Mindfulness. I work with children, adolescents, adults and older adults and have extensive experience addressing social anxiety, depression, substance and behavioral addictions, sexual assault/abuse and trauma, and difficulties associated with giftedness and learning.
- I have experience administering and interpreting psychological tests for issues such as learning difficulties, mood dysregulation, giftedness and executive functioning. I have practiced therapy in settings such as college counseling centers, substance abuse clinics, trauma/crisis centers, and outpatient testing centers.
- I strive to provide my clients with a safe, accepting environment from which they can explore their difficulties, strengths, and identities. I work collaboratively with my clients to figure out their goals, strategies to change their unhelpful patterns, and skills to achieve the things they want from life.
