If you feel misunderstood or invisible, are frustrated with things happening in your life, or desire change but can't quite figure out how to make the change happen, then I'm happy to collaborate with you. I can listen to and assist those who are wanting to figure themselves out and find their own brand of success and happiness.
I have worked primarily with adolescents, but have experience working with adults as well. I am comfortable speaking to people from all walks of life and like to ensure a judgement-free zone to help clients feel safe speaking about their concerns. I've worked with depression, anxiety, IDD, ASD, anger, trauma, and much more.
I've attended therapy myself and know that it can sometimes feel intimidating or uncomfortable, especially due to stigma around mental health. I aim to help ensure that clients are comfortable by offering empathy and understanding no matter religion, political affiliation, age, gender, race, or orientation.

I primarily use an integrative approach, using whichever style or styles of therapy that seem most beneficial for the client's specific needs. I will often begin by listening to the primary complaints, reviewing past experiences, and looking for patterns. We'll aim for reframing and better understanding. In the mean time, coping skills will also be taught and assessed for effectiveness.
