My experience spans across a variety of settings, including inpatient programs, community-based care, residential treatment, substance use programs, and emergency departments. Due to my background in crisis and inpatient work, I bring a deep understanding of how stress and trauma impact the mind and body, and the importance of slowing down to rebuild a sense of safety. I take a strength-based and relational approach in my sessions, primarily integrating IFS, Play Therapy, DBT, and TF-CBT modalities.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and person-centered, with treatment tailored to each client’s unique needs. I believe therapy should be genuine and empowering—healing begins when you feel safe and understood. You deserve to show up as your true, authentic self.
Working with me is really a partnership. It is a relationship that goes both ways. I can only give you as much as you are willing to give yourself. I meet clients where they are at and we take it one step at a time to help them reach their goals. I am always in my clients' corners working to advocate and support them.
