I educate and empower clients to learn and to grow. I have worked with a wide array of clients since 2009. With degrees in psychology and clinical mental health counseling, I enjoy continuously learning.
I am a well trained, experienced practitioner of DBT skills training courses, elements of which I incorporate into individual therapy.
I am also an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and have worked with assisting transgender clients through transitioning.
Aside from standard therapies, I use an array of approaches designed to fit clients' unique learning styles. I utilize the core skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients learn how to identify thoughts and feelings and manage them in healthy ways.
I provide an open-minded, non-judgmental, emotionally safe, validating environment. It is important to me that clients feel respected - no matter what they're sharing.
Sometimes clients just need to get a lot out. Other times clients are ready to learn and set goals. I honor the client's need to go at their own pace while encouraging them to meet their therapeutic needs.
