My ideal clients are individuals who are in need of effective counseling, skills training, interventions and resource coordination and more. I am committed to individual therapy, family preservation, and empowering individuals to set and achieve their own goals. I want to remove the negative stigma attached to therapy and support my clients on their development. I am very passionate about helping clients find ways to regulate and process their emotions effectively.
I work with families, adolescents and adults. I specialize in childhood mental illness, trauma, depression and anxiety. I take a person centered approach, which is client focused, and include other systemic evidence based models to assist with treating symptoms.
Therapy is a process. Each person’s process is unique. My passion for helping people through their process is what drew me to the social work profession. Rapport building and respect comes naturally to me and I want to invite you to come work with me on your therapeutic process.
