National Certified Counselor

I have both passion and experience working with clients of all ages children, adolescents and their families in a therapeutic setting. They may be seeking support with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, traumatic events or navigating a blended family. Diagnoses may include ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, ODD, or PTSD. There are a number of stressors and challenges that children and teenagers face in today’s world; parents may discover that they would value additional insight, information and support when addressing sensitive issues like bullying, self-worth, gender identity and sexual orientation, life transitions, social anxiety, etc.

I have experience utilizing a variety of treatment modalities including CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, Play Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I am dedicated to making clients feel comfortable, especially individuals who have had a prior negative experience in therapy. I like to incorporate creative outlets like art or music and always provide fidgets.

With experience as both a therapist and therapy client, I recognize how important it is for the relationship to feel comfortable and authentic. I make an effort to be approachable to individuals of all ages and take the time to build a trusting connection where the individual feels safe to be open. LGBTQIA+ advocate and ally.
