Hello! I enjoy working with teens and adults on issues related to peer/family conflict, social skills, difficult life changes, and relationship struggles. I also provide a neuro-affirming approach when working with teens/adults who struggle with ADHD. For teens in particular, I encourage working alongside their parents/caregivers to promote support outside of therapy. My hope is to guide all my clients in forming new insights, changing unhelpful behaviors, and strengthening their relationships.
With younger teens, I might start with a game/activity as we talk and warm up for more reflective work. (Older clients are also welcome to play games, color, and paint!) Whether we engage in traditional talk therapy or play Uno while we chat, I tend to work from a cognitive behavioral and person-centered approach as we unravel and explore issues together.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my kids (even if that means we're all in the same room doing completely different things), hiking with our husky, bookstore hopping, reading fiction, and writing poetry.
