About My Clients

Do you find yourself worrying more often? Or have you had trouble navigating life after bad things happen? Or even good things? I have experience working with teens, adults and families to support them during difficult times. I can help individuals and families who are experiencing stress associated with trauma, adjustment to big life changes, overwhelming worries, or sadness using strategies that can ground you and help you find your path forward.

My Background and Approach

I have worked with people who have experienced complex trauma, single incident trauma, people who have had engagement with the child welfare system including teens, birth parents, foster parents and adoptive parents, and individuals/families in crisis settings who are dealing with suicidal ideation, seeking detox or experiencing acute mental health symptoms. I can help individuals/families who are experiencing stress associated with trauma, adjustment to big life changes, overwhelming worries, or sadness using strategies that can ground you and help you find your path forward. We will start by identifying your strengths, needs and personal goals. I will listen with an open mind as you work towards healing and wellness. Using my training in evidenced based practices listed below, we will use treatments that fit your needs. Treatment modalities include: Trauma Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Mindfulness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person's voice has power and I am honored that you are considering allowing me to follow a part of your story. Everyone struggles and everyone has strength. I believe it is my job to listen as you find your strength. When I'm not in the therapy room, you can find me outside, cooking, playing with my dogs and family, or engaging in hobbies that make me smile. Life is a balance, and I'm here to help you focus on the things that bring you joy so that you can face the challenges that life also brings.
