I work with a variety of concerns, including ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety, and attachment challenges. I also have several years of experience in foster care, where I supported children and teens through the unique difficulties that come with that system. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for resilience and the many different paths people take toward healing.
I offer a range of skills using a very person-centered approach at the core, and then adding techniques that will help you achieve your goals. These techniques can come from CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and others.
I use a very warm and positive approach to various techniques. I am always open to learning new ways to better help others.
