About My Clients
My professional background spans across a multitude of areas including court systems, probation, victim advocacy, medical social work, school-based therapy, case management and crisis response. Throughout, I have had the privilege of working with children as young as 9 and those later in life, to include 94 and up and any person in between. I have worked closely with those across a multitude of demographics and walks of life and I believe these experiences have helped me grow as a therapist.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and acute stress, with expertise in women’s issues, communication styles, and supporting survivors of abuse. My expertise further includes working with ADHD in children, eating disorders, body image concerns, body dysmorphia, school avoidance, work/life stressors and transitions, safety and risk assessments, aging, chronic illness, grief/loss across the lifespan and supporting first responders. I utilize a strengths-based, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy and EMDR when appropriate. I pull from a person-in-environment perspective while employing a trauma-informed lens. Together, we will address what is going on in your mind while equipping you with various techniques and skills that you can utilize at any given moment, in order to work through future stressors, worries, challenges and uncertainties.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that often times, one of the hardest parts of therapy is simply reaching out and getting started. Together, we will put in the necessary work that will lead you to a more fulfilling and stable life. This work can be difficult and at times, uncomfortable, but this is where the growth happens and it is my privilege to be alongside you in this journey toward a better 'you.' I have a special interest in community engagement, grassroots organizing and advocacy efforts, particularly as it pertains to victims' rights, women's rights, animal rights, and pilot programming.
