I believe in the importance of sharing knowledge about the mind-body relationship of trauma, panic, anxiety, and depression, to help my clients understand what they have been experiencing and why, and how to move forward. My specialties are school-aged children and adolescents and their families, and young adults, but I do trauma-focused therapy with all ages. My clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and transitional stress, whether that be exploring or revealing sexuality and/or gender identity, developmental transitions, managing increasing expectations of early adulthood, or navigating life changes.

Working at Innovative Psychological Consultants, I believe finding relief and the tools to cope and manage all of life's stressors is what alleviates symptoms, restores balance, and makes people successful. Many things in our lives can impact our functioning, therefore, I use an eclectic approach to therapy, finding the right tools for each individual. I also believe that humor and the ability to enjoy life, even when there are struggles is an important part of ones spirit and the therapeutic journey.

Working with clients ages 18+, I operate from a heavily client centered and eclectic lens, preferring to meet clients where they’re at rather than using one specific modality of treatment. I have training in DBT, CBT, trauma work, substance use disorders, and beyond and experience treating adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. My areas of professional focus include - life transitions - personal growth - career development - medical professional stress and burnout.

I recognize the strength and courage it takes in coming to therapy. I am passionate about offering a safe space to feel vulnerable and comfortable. I believe the relationship between the client and therapist is an essential component to therapy, so I greatly value the importance of comfortability, openness, and safety in the therapy room. I typically operate from a strengths based perspective, believing that therapy should not only focus on the client's presenting problems, but highlight their strengths as well.

Looking for a therapist for a child in your home? Feeling overwhelmed with family stressors? I might be the right fit for you. I'm a Master's level therapist that specializes in pediatrics (ages 0-21) but also loves to work with adults in all stages of life. I have experience working with adults and youth around traumatic experiences such as abuse, loss, attachment disruptions, and/or foster care placements.

I believe in incorporating a positive psychological and holistic approach to the individuals I serve. By incorporating an overall wellness and "whole mind/body" approach with individuals, I believe each person can get the best out of themselves through mental health therapy. I utilize evidenced based clinical counseling techniques such as ACT, Mindfulness, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of sport counseling/psychology modalities into practice. Lastly, I take an individual approach to every person I treat, knowing that every person is different and deserves authentic, genuine, and exceptional mental health care.
