I have experience working with children and adolescents from diverse backgrounds struggling with self-esteem, body positivity, anxiety, depression, self-harm, trauma, and loss. I am prepared to support my clients with their successes and struggles as they work toward gaining insight and wisdom into themselves and their lives. I hope that my clients will be able to gain a sense of resiliency and feel encouraged to work toward their goals alongside someone that they are able to trust and feel safe with.

I am able to assist my clients with a broad range of interventions including, but not limited to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Behavior Modification techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Gestalt work. I appreciate grounding, mindfulness, reframing negative thoughts patterns, and providing empathy and care for each individual in order to feel welcomed, accepted, and heard.

I have over 8 years of experience with children and adolescents and I am extremely passionate about supporting our youth. I am confident in my skills as a counselor and would consider myself an ally for the LGBTQAI+ community. I am hoping to gain further knowledge regarding individuals of different cultural backgrounds in order to provide the best care possible for each individual that I may have the opportunity to share space with. I chose the field of counseling to encourage and inspire growth in individuals that I meet with to keep reaching for their goals despite failure, just like my therapist was able to encourage and support me along my journey.

It would be my honor to share your joys and successes, but even more to share your pain and fear. Healing is never easy, but growth and change can be inspiring!
