About My Clients
My clients have ranged in age from tweens to those in their golden years, and I've found initial connection has been key to our success. Many are seeking support in setting and maintaining boundaries with loved ones and with themselves, as well as implementing healthier coping skills in their daily lives. I enjoy helping those in creative fields find balance and support. I have also found myself successful in working and connecting with teens, drawing upon humor, art & music, and authenticity.
My Background and Approach
Drawing from many theoretical orientations, I approach therapy as an individualized practice and maintain a person-centered approach throughout treatment. I draw from what I feel will work best for my client’s needs and personality, but some of my favorite approaches stem from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also enjoy incorporating a strengths-based approach and mindfulness techniques to help empower clients to take charge of their mental health. In the future, I hope to pursue a certification in Animal Assisted Therapy as well as certifications in DBT and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Using hands-on activities, including art, music and writing, I am able to bring mental health to life in a way that is accessible and meaningful, especially for teens and tweens. I strive to prioritize comfort and safety for my clients and always have a selection of fidget toys & coloring pages.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I began my journey to become a therapist after years of soul searching, finally realizing I needed to be the change I so desperately wanted to see in the mental health field. I believe wholeheartedly that mental health goes hand in hand with physical health, and am passionate about educating folks about its importance. My promise is to always provide a compassionate, empathetic space for my clients to be authentic and vulnerable.
