Throughout my experience working with adolescents and young adults experiencing depression and anxiety, I have focused on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. I recognize that symptoms often present differently across developmental stages and may include changes in mood, social withdrawal, academic difficulties, low self-esteem, irritability, excessive worry, or challenges with emotional regulation.

With my clients I utilize evidence-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed interventions to help adolescents and young adults develop effective coping skills and improve emotional functioning. I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, psychoeducation, problem-solving, and strengths-based approaches to help clients identify negative thought patterns, manage anxiety symptoms, regulate emotions, and increase self-confidence.

Meeting with me for the first time? No worries! I began sessions with new clients by building a strong therapeutic relationship, completing comprehensive assessments, identifying each client's strengths, and collaborating with them and their families to develop individualized treatment goals that promote emotional well-being and resilience.
