Helping individuals heal and improve their lives is what drives my work as a therapist. I offer a non-judgmental space and treat the whole individual. Our relationship is the most important foundation that will determine positive outcomes, and I keep that at the forefront of my work. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I use a team approach to help clients learn new coping skills & healthier ways to problem-solve their issues.
Theoretically framework comes from cognitive behavioral & trauma-informed practices. I use internal family systems for family therapy & Gottman techniques combined with emotion focused for couples. I am trained in other theoretically models and will find the best treatment that best serves your need.
I worked in a variety of settings that provided me opportunities to gain compassion & skills for helping individuals work through anxiety, trauma, depression, & relationship issues. I worked in school settings, outpatient clinics & grant funded positions. My goal is to help clients, so they don't need my services. Please contact me if you have any questions!
