About My Clients
Throughout my career, I have worked in various mental health settings including inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care facilities, drug and alcohol recovery houses, a juvenile incarceration facility, and an Applied Behavior Analysis Autism clinic. My years of experience working with people of all ages and walks of life have shaped my counseling style to one centered on understanding, unconditional acceptance, patience, and positive encouragement.
My Background and Approach
I have extensive training in Child-Centered Play Therapy and Child-Parent Relationship Therapy. I specialize in child development and child-parent attachment. I love supporting parents and caregivers of both neurotypical and neurodivergent children and adolescents by helping them form stronger connections with their children. I also enjoy helping people become more familiar with and accepting of their emotions and unique life challenges. My treatment style focuses on gaining an understanding of practical brain science, identifying emotions and automatic thoughts and behaviors, and establishing a sense of self-acceptance. As for me personally, I love to travel, cook, and spend time outdoors. My favorite way to cook things is over a campfire and my favorite way to pass time is talking to friends and my mom. I am an avid hiker as well as a fierce board game player and puzzle completer. I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for several years as both a player and a Dungeon Master.
