About My Clients
I specialize in working with young adults & teens. As a young adult myself, I understand the stresses that come along with this period of life. I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, ADHD, trouble adjusting to life transitions, etc., who desire change and are ready to take the next step forward!
My Background and Approach
I graduated with a master’s degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. While I was there, I also obtained a graduate certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.I primarily employ Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, but most importantly, my techniques are person-centered and intended to create a safe space for healing. In our work together, I will help you realize your current strengths and utilize them to achieve your goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The nonjudgemental, therapeutic environment is a really powerful thing. I make it my job to help my clients feel empowered and accepted, first and foremost. I believe that everyone experiences traumas in a different way, and what may be a small trauma to one person may be huge to another person. I gained experience working from a trauma-informed viewpoint while working with those who were experiencing homelessness. For most, homelessness was just one of many traumatic experiences that they have had to face, from domestic violence to abusive childhoods. That job gave me a lot of perspective, but most importantly, I saw the true resilience of the human spirit. I witnessed people coming back from the hardest time in their life, and they did so with hope and positivity. I am dedicated to helping people through the hardest times because I have seen the beauty and strength that emerges when someone comes out on the other side.
