Hi! I know starting therapy can be scary and I hope that I can make the experience a little less overwhelming. I have been providing therapy for 13 years now in numerous types of settings ranging residential, community mental health, private practice and both in person and tele-health. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life changes. I have a special place in my heart for adolescents and young adults, but I love working with all ages. I focus on adjusting my treatment to what my clients need while creating a non-judgmental, supportive space to process and learn while throwing in a joke or two here and there. I am excited to potentially be a stepping stone in your story.

I work from an eclectic lens as I believe that as the clinician, I should identify what treatment modality would work best for my clients rather than making my clients fit into my modality. I do typically work from a trauma focused CBT, attachment, narrative lens. I implement a lot of family systems theory into my practice, especially when working with youth. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

During our first session, I want to get to know you as therapy is about what you need or want from treatment. I will conduct an assessment to identify the impairments, symptoms, and behaviors while building rapport. Collaborative treatment planning is a necessity to promote effective treatment and better outcomes for my clients.
