Great to meet you!

I have received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been trained in EMDR. I also have certifications in MIGDAS-2 and SRS-2 for the evaluation of and to help in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder. I enjoy utilizing EMDR very much and have utilized it in both telehealth and in-person formats.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients experiencing trauma, life changes, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and needing more coping skills for managing emotions. I have worked closely with individuals experiencing many mental health diagnoses including anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and any other diagnoses. Most individuals will find that diagnoses are connected to many life events happening; therefore, I am adaptable and enjoy helping clients explore areas of need.

What you can expect from me

I love creating a safe space and making clients feel welcome. I also am very humorous, so my clients can expect a bubbly personality and openness to everything they bring to sessions.
