I believe that each person is the expert on their “self” and has the ability to grow and heal. My role is to support/offer resources to best facilitate each person’s innate resiliency. I also believe this process takes effort, and reaching out for help if you or your child have been struggling is a crucial step. I've worked in a variety of settings for the past 9 years and with issues such as family relationships, trauma, mood disorders, chronic illness, grief, LGBTQI+ issues, and cooccurring developmental disorders. I'm trained in TF-CBT, EMDR, DBT, and other modalities.
I work with individuals across the lifespan, though I have a particular interest in working with children, adolescents and their families. I’m passionate about supporting kids through challenging life stressors like trauma, and in helping to support the family/larger support system as a whole. I enjoy helping adults to uncover potential and achieve balance.
For therapy to be successful, it ultimately has to be the right fit for you. I am happy to offer a 15-20 minute consultation to determine if it is a good fit. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile to see if I can be that for you or your child.
