I am a skilled and compassionate therapist who is passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel empowered to process their stories and experience personal growth. With over a decade of experience working in schools, I also specialize in working with children and adolescents (ages 3 and up) and partnering with parents and families to promote emotional well being.
Using an eclectic approach I work to support each individual and their unique needs, blending techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Training. When working with children I utilize Child Centered Play Therapy interventions while also working collaboratively with parents and school personnel.
My client's well-being and personal growth is of the upmost importance. I have experience working with clients across the lifespan working through a wide variety of mental health issues and challenging life experiences. My approach is down-to-earth and tailored to each individual's specific needs.
