Own your story. I specialize in working with women and teens who have experienced trauma, grief, difficult life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem and are ready to take charge of their life narrative. Trust, authenticity, and vulnerability are vital components of the therapeutic process and I work hard to establish and maintain those values with clients. My heart for my clients is that they would feel the safety of being themselves while also being invited into growth and restoration of relationships.
My counseling practices are informed and evidence based. I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Grief-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I draw from Family Systems theory and implement Developmental Psychology in my practice.
My counseling style is heartfelt and respectful, yet candid and direct. If you're in a place where you're ready to get unstuck and address areas of pain in your life, you will be met with empathy, respect, and hope.
