What can sometimes be difficult to share or process with a parent or close adult can be much easier to discuss with an adult more removed from the situation or dynamic. I aim to fill this role in my practice and provide a secure and helpful environment in which young people can be honest about what is bothering them. As a result, they can more effectively create ways to manage overwhelm and stress.


Using an integrative approach to meet each patient where they are most comfortable, I incorporate techniques from various therapeutic modalities, such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems therapy (IFS), and interpersonal therapy (IPT). Ultimately, I want to help young people better understand and know themselves and, in doing so, develop a toolkit of strategies they can use to independently manage their mental health over time.
