About My Clients
I have a broad range of experience treating clients of many backgrounds and issues. I work with adults and teens ages 12+ who have experienced anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship issues, and much more. I approach clients with kindness and compassion, but also will challenge you to make the changes you wish to make for your life. I am dedicated to helping you find the best version of yourself by meeting you where you are at and supporting you as you work towards your goals.
My Background and Approach
My background and experience have lead me to working with many populations and issues. From non-profit community agencies to inpatient hospitals -I have experience working with families, teens, couples, and adults with issues such as ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationship issues, and much more. I have trainings in EMDR, Gottman couple's method, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Expressive Arts, Trauma, Supervision skills, and many others. I am passionate about helping those who have experienced secondary/vicarious trauma through their roles as healthcare workers, emergency service professionals, or first responders. I am very collaborative in my treatment and focus my sessions on addressing the issues as you see them while challenging you to look outside of the box. I focus on helping you find the source of the problem, how it affects your life, ways you are already accomplishing your goals, and exploring possibilities for your future.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone has the strength and ability to work through difficult times in their life, but sometimes that strength is forgotten or hidden. I think one of the best things one person can do for another is to support them no matter where they are at in life, or what differences they may have from each other. I value being genuine, and embracing our humanity as we go through this life. Nothing is perfect, but we can always try for better. I was raised by first responders (paramedic/firefighter/nurse) - so I have seen the personal side of how people perform those jobs. I see how hard they work for others, and what kind of toll that can take on them if they are not functioning at their best. I see how that also can affect families of first responders. I think it is important for these heroes to feel supported and uplifted, but also recognize that the rescuer also needs saving at times. In my personal life I enjoy spending time with my dog, reading, and making art on a patio.
