About My Clients

If you are someone who struggles with depression, trauma, or anxiety, I aim to provide a non-judgmental space to process and learn effective coping skills to get you closer to being a healthier, happier YOU. I want every client I work with to feel supported and to feel a sense of relief and comfort regarding their mental health during our time working together.

My Background and Approach

When working with ideal clients, I practice using an integrated approach that is tailored to meet the needs of each of my clients. I have experience working with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other forms of trauma using client-centered therapy, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed therapeutic interventions. I especially lean towards trauma-informed therapy because often times trauma leads to distress and it is important for clients to process where their trauma.
