About My Clients
I love working with children, teens, and their families to improve their situations and live their best lives. Whether that means decreasing anxiety or depressive symptoms, to addressing trauma, or adjusting to new situations, I love working with people of all types.
My Background and Approach
I've been working as a counselor since 2017 when I graduated from the University of Saint Josephs in Connecticut with my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. From there I focused on working with children doing play therapy and have gained my credentials as a registered play therapist from the Association for Play Therapy. From there I have studied Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as a means to better my own life and the lives of my clients. The combination of these two approaches has allowed me to work with clients to give them tools to confront their struggles and understand what is happening in their bodies during the most challenging times, and to help them find relief from their pain.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone should have a chance to change and grow, no matter their age or situation. I think that many mental health issues occur because of our learned responses to events which have served us in the past, but they may be detrimental in the current state. Throughout my life I have suffered from issues with depression, and through my own therapy I have been able to move past the most challenging parts. I still live with it on a daily basis, but it does not consume me or cause me the pain that it once did. I believe that if I can do it, you can do it. If you have any questions for me, please don't hesitate to reach out.
