About My Clients

I enjoy working with adults 18+ years. We work together to progress through trauma, grief, depression, OCD, and anxiety. It is important to me to build a relationship with trust in order to provide a safe place for having those challenging conversations around life experiences.

My Background and Approach

I approach my sessions with a compassionate approach to make therapy more approachable and secure enough to work through challenges. In my therapeutic approach, I support client reach a more rational and emotional balance utilizing thought provoking conversations. I utilize a humanistic approach with cognitive behavioral techniques and allowing people to express their own narratives. I offer additional therapeutic practices for trauma based therapy and OCD to better accommodate client needs. Utilizing EMDR and TF-CBT, clients are able to work through their traumas from past events. I also can provide clients with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for clients struggling with OCD.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe it is important to utilize the tools around us to help our own success. Utilizing nature and the relationships we have developed overtime has been shown to help us grow in a healthy direction. I strongly believe that people have the ability to find purpose in their lives and live a healthy life, we can work together to build on your strengths.
