I am trained in treating children, adolescents, college-aged students, individual adults, couples, and families. I have treated family and couple conflicts, mood and anxiety disorders, cases of bullying and child abuse, domestic violence, eating disorders, substance abuse and addiction, sexual trauma, medical concerns/chronic health issues, sports and academic performance struggles, and work related stress. I want to help clients set and achieve realistic and healthy goals for themselves and create, nurture, and maintain healthy relationships and boundaries. I want to assist each person gain the tools to succeed, grow, and thrive.
My specialty is working with adolescents, college-aged students, individual adults, and families. I was trained in a systemic background, which means that the individuals are taught in a family system, and that family system is crucial to a healthy psychology. I come from a Humanistic approach but utilize tools from CBT and DBT. Empathy is invaluable.
I am very passionate about working with others. I work well with individuals and families because my own hardships in life have made me empathetic to the plights of others. I hope to provide my clients with the tools to carry growth and positivity over to their family and personal lives.

I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my work with clients, exploring how thoughts affect emotions and behaviors/actions. After discovering how our thoughts impact us, we explore in session if our thoughts are accurate, helpful, or even irrational. Then, we talk about how we can reframe, challenge, and combat unhelpful, unproductive thoughts so we may have them serve us better.
