Great to meet you!

Happy to be part of the team! I have been DBT certified for 3 years and am currently renewing that cert; as well as other certifications as I mainly utilize CBT/DBT modalities with some motivational interviewing for individual sessions. I am very experienced with OCD and ADHD and have focused on these disorders for years as well. I love couples/family work and have great success with the Gottman method. I also work with a wide range of age groups, ethnicities and gender orientations. I worked with two young females through their transition from 13-17 y.o I have experience with trauma and am working on EMDR certification.

My approach to therapy

Mainly a mix of DBT, psychodynamic, and motivational interviewing approaches but work well with many modules.

What you can expect from me

A warm, non judgmental, close professional relationship and a secure objective attachment figure who they can rely on to move through life with.
