Meet Evelyn

I have a depth of experience working with adolescents and adults. I have worked with clients of many different backgrounds seeking help for a wide variety of reasons including anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, trauma, lack of motivation, career difficulties, parenting problems, family conflicts, and emotional regulation. I utilize a variety of treatment methods and tools, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), empathetic understanding, reflective listening, negative thought challenging, motivational interviewing and mindfulness/meditation techniques. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help my clients identify and challenge faulty thought patterns and develop coping strategies to help them toward wellness.

I utilize a variety of treatment methods and tools, such as CBT, empathetic understanding, reflective listening, negative thought challenging, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness/meditation techniques.
