About My Clients
Right now, I have primarily adolescent clients, which means I know how to take sarcasm and give it back. Nevertheless, clients who work with me appreciate my joking and playful nature. I believe that with the right support, a little humor, and a strong connection, healing and change are possible.
My Background and Approach
I practice therapy using elements of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, and mindfulness approaches. Clinical jargon aside, I will work with you on helping you figure out what isn’t working for you and how to use change to create a life you want to live. If you are looking for something to be different in your life, whether that is making a desired change or healing from something you don’t talk about, I would love the opportunity to walk with you or your child on that journey. Some days can be harder than others and with the right support, those days can feel a little less heavy. It is my goal to understand your concerns while creating a safe space for you to be as messy as you need to be.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In my practice, I believe in the power of connection, authenticity, and the ability to work towards goals in smaller steps. When goals are broken down, you are more likely to produce small changes along the way to create lasting change, and I am here to help you do that. A few things about me: I am happier where there is water and I love traveling to places where I can relax at the beach, listening to the crashing waves and sinking my feet in the sand. My least favorite house chore is cleaning the poopoo zen garden (litter box) and my cat yells at me if I start to slack. I re-watch the Harry Potter series every year around the holidays. In my spare time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling, spending quality time with my friends/family and fur babies, reading and staying in to binge my favorite shows.
