About My Clients
I enjoy working with all ages through the lifespan. While I have years of experience working with diverse clients and challenges, I specialize in working with children and individuals with ADHD, ADD, twice exceptionalism and highly talented individuals, and mood disorders. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and have experience working with gender identity exploration and dysphoria. I am also trained in EMDR therapy and use a trauma-informed lens and individually tailor my services for my clients!
My Background and Approach
Just a few of the modalities I use include cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, client-centered and solution-focused approaches to encourage clients to develop new coping skills to manage life transitions and adverse events. I am also an EMDR-trained therapist and provide trauma-informed care to children, adolescents, and adults. I possess the ability to connect and build positive therapeutic alliances with my clients through open communication, empathy, and self-empowerment to promote resiliency and future successes.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In the words of Maya Angelou, "You may not control all of the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." During my graduate school career, I volunteered as a hotline advocate at a local domestic violence shelter. I am passionate about supporting others in finding emotional and physical freedom from domestic and interpersonal violence. I was also a project coordinator on a suicide research grant through partnership with University of Central Florida and SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).
