I hold an LICSW with a background in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and substance misuse. I work primarily with adults and have a particular interest in women’s mental health – including maternal mental health and the way ADHD and/or anxiety shows up differently for women, especially during periods of hormonal change and major life transition. I also work with men and people of all gender identities and backgrounds.
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I pay close attention to the person in front of me and adjust accordingly. I value a collaborative approach in which you set the direction, and I help you stay connected to what you came in wanting to work on. I draw on CBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches depending on what fits. I’m direct without being prescriptive, and I always welcome feedback if something is or isn’t working.
Mostly conversation. I’ll want to understand what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re hoping will feel different during and after our work together. Aside from reviewing practical things like confidentiality, informed consent, safety, and how we’ll work together, I don’t have a rigid agenda. By the end you’ll have a sense of whether this is a good fit and we’ll go from there.
