About My Clients

You are not alone in the chaos of our world. Clients come to me for concerns related to depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation/self-harm, aging, teen issues and other areas of life that leave you feeling overwhelmed, hopeless or otherwise without joy. Together, we can create and implement a plan to help you achieve your goals and find your joy.

My Background and Approach

I am experienced in working with teens and adults with OCD, anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation. I bring my personal experience with the military, aging, and abused populations to pair with my education and training to help foster the supportive and safe environment we need to grow. Common approaches used will include CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention. However, we will determine the best approach(es) to meet your needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every person has value. They deserve to be happy and without hunger. I do not bring religion into my practice, but I will engage with you and your beliefs as this is what is important in your life.
