Reaching out for support is hard, I’m glad you’re here. I work with children, teens, and adults who are looking for new perspectives, ways of coping, or simply someone to talk to.
My personal commitment to the counseling relationship involves a warm, nonjudgmental demeanor. All folks are welcome. Each person is unique and I love incorporating clients' interests, hobbies, and strengths into our work together.
Before earning my Master’s in Counseling in 2024, I spent 2 years in 4K-12 schools and college campus settings supporting individuals in their mental health. Since 2023, I have worked in outpatient settings.
Life throws a lot at us. Our confidence in our ability to handle it matters. I integrate perspectives and techniques from DBT, ACT, CBT, IFS (and of course, with younger kids, play). Though I am trained in solution-focused therapy, my time as a therapist has taught me that identifying “what to do" about a challenge is only the first step in the hard work.
I look forward to hearing from you soon- I have some new late-afternoon openings for summer.
