I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist. I believe that every individual is capable of change. I know change can be scary and it takes courage to make the first step in asking for help. Sometimes we are just held back by maladaptive behavioral or thought patterns, feel overwhelmed with distressing thoughts/emotions or we experience constant worry/anxiety. I specialize in treating depression and anxiety for adults.
I utilize evidence based treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Art Therapy. I believe building rapport and being met with compassion is essential to creating a healing environment to empower you to be the best you. These practices will help you build your toolbox full of skills to help you reach your full potential, overcome obstacles, and live the life that you want to live!
The first session is about getting to know each other and what goals you would like to achieve during therapy. We begin by creating an open line of communication & trust. Then, we will work together to develop a treatment plan to reach your therapy goals. Ensuing sessions will be focused on building the necessary skills to help you achieve your goals to improve your quality of life.
