About My Clients

I am eager to work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also work well with clients struggling with relationship issues, life transition, low self-esteem, and grief/loss. I consider the individual needs of each client when planning my approach to your care. I believe each individual is unique and resilient!

My Background and Approach

I have a background with working in substance addiction, as well as providing support for families experiencing addiction through a loved one. I have worked with adolescents struggling with life changes and emotional difficulties. I also have experience working in mental health on an acute inpatient psychiatric unit and managing crises in the emergency dept. As a therapist, I work comfortably with CBT, ACT, Mindfulness-based treatment, and EMDR.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

It takes a great deal of courage to come to therapy and bare the most personal side of yourself. Through some gentle but thoughtful work, my hope is that you will learn to face a challenge and become a more confident and resilient version of yourself. I am able to offer strong empathy, warmth, and compassion to support you through this process! I hope to help you become in tune with what you need and want to live your most fulfilling life!
