My Approach to Therapy
As a licensed clinical mental health therapist, I bring a wealth of experience to my practice, specializing in assisting older teenagers and transitional adults through life's various challenges. My expertise extends across different settings, including educational institutions, outpatient clinics, and telehealth platforms. This extensive background equips me with a deep understanding of the unique emotional, psychological, and developmental hurdles faced by individuals in these age groups, as well as their families.
I employ evidence-based treatment modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, with the goal of offering comprehensive care that nurtures both the mind and the spirit. I find great fulfillment in helping clients navigate pivotal life transitions—whether it's adjusting to college life, entering the workforce, or managing relationships. Understanding that life transitions can happen at any age, I welcome clients from 16 years old and up.
My approach centers around creating a supportive and empathetic environment where clients can freely express their concerns, aspirations, and struggles. Here, we work together to craft tailored strategies that empower them to achieve their goals.
Committed to staying abreast of the continually evolving field of mental health care, I actively engage in ongoing education and training. This commitment ensures that I can incorporate the latest advancements in psychotherapy into my practice, enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the care you receive.
Whether you're a late adolescent facing the challenges of emerging adulthood or a young adult navigating complex life decisions, my mission is to provide you with compassionate, informed, and effective mental health care tailored to your unique needs.
