anxiety/assertiveness/self-esteem
I specialize in treating issues related to low self-esteem and anxiety disorders. Assertiveness is a key component to standing up for ourselves and making sure we can effectively articulate our needs to the people around us. Those who have trouble setting boundaries, being assertive at work, or need assistance maintaining healthy relationships may benefit from assertiveness training.
cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing them into healthier, more adaptive thoughts. During treatment, we would develop calming techniques, coping skills and re-frame cognitive distortions to promote self-esteem and reduce negative self-talk. This technique is effective for a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
person-centered counseling
This approach allows you to act as an equal partner in your therapy. Non-directive and non-judgmental, your therapist meets you where you are. You’re treated as the expert in your own life, and you would have an active role in creating your goals and directing the course of therapy. This approach can be effective for individuals who enjoy setting self-directed goals.
career counseling
It can be difficult to decide which direction you want your career to take, especially during the pandemic. We would complete a career assessment, research optimal career paths and focus on your strengths to help you meet your goals.
