I have 15 years diagnosing, treating, and finding happiness under the depression umbrella. I am training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing which are effective treatment modalities for depression and sadness symptoms. I work with children as young as 8 years and adults to learn and identify roots of depression/sadness and work to find a more level mood and happiness in their day-to-day life.

I have 15 years of clinical experience diagnosing, treating and healing trauma. I have an extensive amount of training in trauma and PTSD. I am training in Internal Family Systems Model which is a safe and effective approach for healing trauma. I work with children as young as 8 and adults in finding peace and healing from their traumatic and stressful events in their life.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is a safe effective treatment for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Through this treatment model my past and present clients have been able to decrease their anxiety symptoms and manage their symptoms to gain control back in their life. I work with children as young as 8 and adults in learning the roots of the anxiety and finding daily relief from their symptoms.

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication designed to help individuals strengthen their motivation and commitment to change. I use person centered planning with my clients to establish a treatment plan and what my clients desire for change in their life. My job with my clients is to engage them in the processing that they need in a positive safe space in therapy.

Internal Family Systems is a psychotherapy approach that views the mind as a system of different sub-personalities, or "parts," each with its own roles and emotions. These parts can include wounded aspects of the self, protective mechanisms, and emotions like anger, shame, or guilt. The goal of IFS therapy is to help individuals understand and integrate these parts, fostering healing and internal peace. This is a very safe treatment approach for trauma for clients of all ages.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and by altering unhelpful thinking, we can improve emotional well-being and overall functioning. This is an effective treatment for generalized anxiety disorder and all forms of anxiety for children and adults.
