I believe that therapy can assist clients with a variety of challenges whether related to a diagnosed mental illness, life transition, relationship, or other. There are many things that can interfere with a feeling of satisfaction or fulfillment in one's life. In my work, I aim to help clients uncover and better navigate these barriers by first understanding their goals and getting to know the whole person. I then utilize evidence-based treatment to assist clients with developing a plan for meeting their personal, professional, and relational needs.
I have several years of experience providing treatment for children, adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, personality disorders, and childhood behavioral disturbances.
I work within a whole system to assist a person with meeting their goals. I find that it can be useful to involve family, teachers, doctors, etc. as appropriate to the case; therefore, my work includes consultation with others as necessary to provide the best care possible for my client.
