About My Clients

I use my 9+ years of experience working with folks with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions to teach you unique coping skills that work! It will be up to you to implement the things you learn in therapy, but I will support you every step of the way. I have worked with individuals, families, and couples. I specialize with folks 14 years and older.

My Background and Approach

I started in the mental health field as a first responder for sexual assault survivors. Then, I transitioned to a therapist position working with children who have been experienced some sort of trauma. I have continued working with trauma survivors. I completed a year long training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and use those tools to support my clients. I also pull from other approaches to help give my clients the tools to cope with anxiety, depression, and life's transitions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone is deserving and worthy of quality mental health treatment. I strive to provide that to my clients by approaching each person with empathy an a unique approach. I understand that not everyone in therapy has had a good experience. Therapists are not a one size fits all, so if you feel like we are not a good fit, I will find you someone who is!
