As a counselor, I use various treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health, along with being trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. I have experience working with adults and adolescents who suffer from depression and anxiety, pre/postpartum mental health, trauma, grief and loss, substance use, adjustment disorders, and other life stressors.
