About My Clients

I enjoy working with individuals off all backgrounds. I have experience working with both the aging population and those with autism or other disabilities. I enjoy those who are eager to grow and take an active role in their sessions However, I recognize that the act of showing up can be challenging. My goal is to create a peaceful, safe and calming environment so that we can collaborate and overcome your stressors together.  

My Background and Approach

My background is in social work which has helped me better understand how there are many contributing factors that shapes a person's mental health. I tend to operate from a Strength Based Perspective in which we identify and utilize your strengths to attack difficult situations. Unfortunately, anxiety and depression has become a familiar thing for many. While there is not a "one size fits all" approach, I aim to validate, offer insight, and identify effective coping strategies. My goal is to work collaboratively and develop achievable and meaningful goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in unconditional positive regard and strive to treat everyone as a valuable human regardless of where they are at in life. I believe in equality and acceptance for all and aim to create a safe space in sessions. I'm currently active in advocating for neurodiversity affirming care.
