People are not their diagnoses even though these labels can sometimes be informative. I prefer to get to know you. Specifically, what do you want out of therapy? What is currently working for you, not working? What brings you in to see me in this moment? I believe that therapy is not only about reducing our suffering, but also finding meaning and fulfillment in our lives. It is about getting to know ourselves, parts that we love, parts that we are afraid of, parts that we don't yet understand. People are also not things that need to be "fixed", instead, this is a place for healing, self-compassion, and growth. I have three areas of specialty. 1) Dialectical behavior therapy for people with intense emotions and self-identity issues. 2) Effective treatment for anxiety and depression. 3) ADHD treatment for children, involving families and schools, specifically children's social development. It would be an honor to hear your story. I look forward to meeting you.
