I began my years of therapeutic experience when I was selected to join a CBT intensive fellowship at the the Depression and Anxiety Speciality Clinician of Chicago where I was hired on full time afterwards. I learned so much on solution focused therapy styles all backed up by scientific evidence with self compassion and warmth. I was specifically trained in treatments for anxiety, OCD, insomnia, life transitions, stress management, and child and adolescents.
My approach to working with client is collaborative and truly authentic. I start out the journey teaching mindful self compassion, from there we work together to create goals to grow a more values based living to decrease unhelpful behaviors or difficult life stressors.
Through work I do with clients, goal setting and compassion is most important. I meet folks where their at while helping them forward towards the life they'd like to live. Therapy is incredibly hard sometimes and I make space for those difficult moments as we explore solutions together.
