About My Clients
I have several years of working in therapy with children, teens and adolescents. I have worked in outpatient settings, school settings, and most recently at a residential treatment facility for adolescents struggling with mental health. I specialize in trauma, attachment, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, and relationships. Additionally, I have an EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) basic training certificate, which can be beneficial for those struggling with trauma.
My Background and Approach
My goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment to help you achieve your goals, whether that is working through a stressful time, or building skills to be less stressed and more confident. I hope to work with you to lead a healthier life and feel more fulfilled. Starting therapy can be intimidating. I like to start with making sure you feel safe and comfortable in the environment. Next, I want to go over your goals of starting therapy to ensure we are on the same page. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, therefore, one approach does not work for everyone. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and coping skills and mindfulness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Life will always have ups and downs as will our emotions. Being able to properly manage anger, sadness, anxiety, boredom and even happiness will help you navigate life with more ease, and help you get through the emotions easier. Counseling has been an important aspect of understanding myself and making me a stronger and calmer individual. It also helped me be a better therapist! You cannot take care of others if you do not take care of yourself first. I have learned to have more self-acceptance, more self-love, and improved self-care.
