I'm a compassionate and experienced clinician with 8 years of clinical practice supporting children, young adults, and adults through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. My background includes working in child welfare, school-based counseling, emergency room crisis intervention, and with refugee and immigrant communities, as well as providing support to veterans.
My approach is collaborative and focused on your individual needs and goals. Whether you are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, trauma, stress, or simply feeling stuck, I believe therapy can be a space to gain insight, develop new skills, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.
I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client centered approach. For clients who desire it, I also offer a Christian, faith-integrated approach that incorporates spiritual beliefs and values into the therapeutic process.
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I am a warm, open minded, and compassionate clinician who believes in listening to understand rather than simply listening to respond. During our first session, I'll learn more about what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, your strengths and what you hope to accomplish.
