about me…
Transitions in life are difficult, especially for girls who face so much pressure to fit a certain image. Helping adolescent girls and young women feel comfortable in their own skin is something I am passionate about.
I remember what it was like to feel so much pressure to look and act a certain way, to want desperately to fit in, even if it meant sacrificing what I wanted or who I was. Girls today face so much pressure at a young age, it’s no wonder we’re seeing more and more anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and people-pleasing behaviors.
If what you are seeing in your teen looks like decisions based on other’s opinions, particularly peers and males, or a lack of identity, I can help.
Therapeutic techniques and approaches are only successful if there is a genuine understanding and relationship between client and therapist. Feeling understood and supported is what allows change and empowerment to take place.
Helping girls and women see their full potential, growing their confidence and self-esteem so they can achieve whatever goal they desire, personally and/or professionally, is what I’ve built a practice around.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Clinical Supervisor. My practice centers around depression, panic, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem and grief and loss. My approaches include CBT, ACT, DBT, MI and Solution-Focused Approach to Coaching.
