About My Clients

It can be hard navigating marital conflict, life transitions, substance or alcohol use, anxiety, and depression. I'm a clinican who creates a safe and welcoming space for clients to do just that and make new meaning of challenges impacting them. With my support and experience, clients will walk away with new insights and applicable strategies that will help them move towards change.

My Background and Approach

I have a wealth of experience working with various populations. I started my career in mental health as a clinical intern working with clients in the area of substance use. I have six years of experience working in school systems as a Therapeutic Day Treatment counselor. I saw first hand how challenging it can be for teens to manage anxiety and depression while also balancing their academics. As an academic coach at a university in the disability services office, I took a holistic approach in navigating neurodiversity, academic life, and the social life of the college students I supported. As a Licensed Mariage and Family Therapist Associate I create a safe space for couples to gain skills and strategies that help them navigate marital conflicts and support individuals and teens with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I value creating a space where my clients can show up as their authentic selves and can bring to therapy the whole of their lives. I take a systemic approach in recognizing and considering how all parts of one's identity plays a role in the lived experience and how one navigates various systems in this world. It's important to me that everyone has a seat at the table and have their voices heard.
