Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My primary goal as a therapist is to make sure that each session is client-centered. This means that YOU are the main focus of therapy! I aim to ensure that therapy sessions are tailored to meet the needs of each client so that the individual can feel comfortable, supported, heard, accepted, and most of all-ready to grow. I tailor sessions to fit each client by integrating the client’s strengths and interests into sessions (art, writing, crafting, and music). One of my favorite things to integrate into session (when appropriate) is humor! I love to laugh!
I have 12 plus years of experience providing mental health services to adolescents and adults in the school, detention, foster care, college, and community setting. I have experience with diagnoses such as trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, substance use, anger, and more. I have been trained in CBT, EMDR, MI, TF-CBT, and A-CRA.
Overall, my goal is to provide non-judgmental support and to walk along side of my clients during the highs and the lows that may come during the therapy journey. I consider it an honor to be by my client's side, to hear their stories, and to see them grow. I would be happy to answer any questions about how I can help you on your journey.
