I have worked as a therapist for the better part of the last decade. In that time, I have worked in various environments with many different populations. My ability to have real and authentic conversations with people creates a safe environment for healing and growth. I work with individuals and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and am a certified ADD/ADHD counselor (Evergreen Certifications 2024). The approaches I pull from in therapy vary based on the needs of the clients I am working with.
I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and operate from a trauma-focused lens. All of the modalities I use are helpful for myself and my clients to create a shared understanding of their world and allow for collaborative work to create a path forward.
I foster a safe and authentic space for open communication. It is most important that my clients feel comfortable opening up and sharing in a space where they will not feel any judgment.
