In addition to these complicated developments, young adults may have the challenge of managing their first mental health concerns including panic attacks, depression, sudden decrease in motivation, or debilitating anxiety.

I have training in CBTCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a technique that can be used to help people better understand their thoughts and feelings that lead to potentially problematic behaviors. (cognitive behavioral therapy), insight oriented therapyPsychodynamic, or insight oriented, therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the patient’s life. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptoms but to help people lead healthier lives., and mindfulness. This enables me to work exclusively in one therapy or blend them as needed.
