About My Clients
I often work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress/adjustment concerns, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I also specialize in helping individuals of all ages cope with the emotional strains that may come with experiencing chronic health conditions.
My Background and Approach
I believe in starting with a Person-Centered approach to therapy – to discover what makes each client unique and to build self-esteem and hope with unconditional support and empathy. From there, I implement an eclectic approach to meet the needs of each client. I utilizes play therapy and creative expression to help younger clients express themselves and address their needs according to their developmental stage in a safe and supportive environment. I have also been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and uses it as a tool to help clients process through trauma.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I hope to provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients to explore their emotions and express themselves. My goal as a counselor is to walk alongside my clients and help them gain tools to access and enhance the inherent strength within them so that they are better able to reach their goals. Therapy is something that is done "with" you... not "to" you so I like to take a very collaborative approach with each of my clients to find what approaches work best for them.
