I have an innate ability to connect and form relationships with people. This ability has allowed me to work individuals and families in different capacities for over 15 years. I believe that every individual is unique. My counseling approach is open, flexible, and adaptive to each person's needs depending on their expectations of treatment, the problem, and treatment goals. Through my work I strive to create a strong therapeutic connection with clients and develop a safe space where clients can grow and evolve.
I have extensive knowledge in child development, school-based issues, child & adolescent anxiety, and parenting and behavioral interventions. I have a special interest in working with young adults experiencing life transitions and women who struggle with anxiety. I work from a strengths-based perspective & I use various therapy techniques to support clients.
