Strengths
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them to improve their quality of life.
Ideal clients
I am committed to helping adults break free from chronic depression, anxiety and burnout. My clinical work focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, habits, and beliefs while building practical coping tools. I also provide and create a space to build resilency and empowerment through trauma therapy. I also provide grief therapy and learn to with the live the grief, anniversaries in particular. I believe in taking a collaborative, grounded approach to help clients achieve lasting progress.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT teaches practical, real-world skills divided into four main modules: • Mindfulness: Focusing attention on the present moment and observing thoughts and feelings without judgment. • Distress Tolerance: Learning how to tolerate crisis situations and intense emotional pain using self-soothing and sensory grounding techniques rather than acting on self-destructive impulses. • Emotion Regulation: Identifying, labeling, and managing intense emotions, including using strategies like "opposite action". • Interpersonal Effectiveness: Communicating needs clearly, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating conflicts while maintaining self-respect and relationships.
