About My Clients
I work with ages 7+ on a variety of issues including Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Autism, Adjustment disorders, ADHD.
My Background and Approach
I have worked in hospital and crisis stabilization settings so I am able to handle the tough issues like anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. I have a unique knack for connecting with clients others may struggle to connect with including tweens and those with high functioning Autism. In fact, I particularly enjoy working with these populations! I volunteered and interned with Central Florida Autism Institute during my undergrad. Currently, I am working toward my Autism Certificate. I tend to focus on the present and the past to the extent that it impacts the present. I rely heavily on CBT-informed, DBT-informed, and psychoeducational techniques. This means that you learn the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and get practical tools in managing each of these.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My passion is to help better live better lives. I did this as an ESE paraeducator and I get to do this now as a therapist. I also have a particular soft spot for those struggling with anxiety and bipolar, as I have dealt with these personally. I have learned that with the right treatment and coping skills, you can live a productive life! I am personally a practicing Christian and am happy to incorporate a Christian perspective if and only if this is what you are looking for. However, I will never impose my values on you. I have worked with people of vastly different faiths and done productive work together. People who know me know that I have a deep respect and empathy for others and that, I hope, comes out in the way that I practice counseling.
