About My Clients

I spent the bulk of my career working with college students in a college counseling center. I enjoy working with all age groups but have expertise with Millenials. I identify as a member and have training in working with LGBTQIA. I also specialize in anxiety management and relational issues.

My Background and Approach

I use a variety of treatment methods to assist clients in both symptom relief and in identifying patterns that keep appearing and leading to the same issues or the same pain, repeatedly. Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Treatment, and Solution-Focused Therapy are what I use mostly, to get my clients to their goals. My clients leave each session with insight as well as a takeaway tool to use that I also encourage and often assign as homework, to focus on outside of sessions.
