My approach to therapy comes from a client-centered, strengths-based, and positive psychology space. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured and goal-oriented form of talk therapy. It works by identifying, tackling, and changing unhelpful thinking to improve your mindset, behaviors, and overall well-being with practice. I also use 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured and goal-oriented form of talk therapy focused on helping people who feel emotions intensely. DBT aims to help you understand and accept your complex and difficult feelings. 

My passion allows me to come alongside you and your adolescent and provide you with a safe space to speak freely and without judgment. I am a fun psychotherapist and will build a strong rapport with them. It is essential for your pre-teen/teen to feel comfortable with their therapist, and I will make sure that happens. For example, I wear my neon pink vans and pictures of my dog hanging up. Being a fun therapist does not mean I sit there with your pre-teen/teen. It means we have built a foundation for therapy to grow and work.
