“In therapy, I believe creating a safe, open, and supportive space helps to foster healing and growth. My passion is to help children, teens, and young adults find their unique strengths and skills and use these to build self-confidence and determine their purpose in life. I understand that barriers & challenges can get in the way but my focus is to guide and empower my clients to trust their ability to make it through these challenges and develop healthy ways to cope.
When working with my clients and their families, I use a trauma informed & holistic approach, with techniques from Person-Centered Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy & Attachment-Based Therapy. I have many years of experience in working with clients who have depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation/self-injury, and other emotional & behavioral concerns. My career has been in higher levels of care including inpatient and partial hospital programs as well as in the outpatient setting.
I am here & ready to listen, validate, and support you in becoming the best version of yourself. I look forward to hearing from you.”
In my personal time, I enjoy spending time and going on trips with my husband, two children, and my dog Sadie. I also enjoy the beach, crafting/flowers, being outside/exploring new parks, taking yoga and spin classes, and trying new coffee shops.
