ABOUT ME
Through my years of working, training and licensure I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations, age groups and issues in a variety of settings, ranging from non-profits and schools to counseling centers and private practice.
I am passionate about special challenges such as adolescent and young adult life transitions and emotional experiences. Along those lines, and with all ages, I have worked with trauma, LGBTQ issues, autism (ASD1) and clients dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, difficulty in relationships and existential issues.
I take a holistic approach to supporting individuals and their families so they can heal and create fulfilling lives. As a holistic therapist, I believe in exploring how we hold our experience mentally, emotionally and physically. I like to pull from different theoretical orientations to meet the needs of my specific clients because I believe each person is unique in their needs. Some theoretical orientations that I enjoy utilizing are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative therapy, play therapy, psychodynamic perspectives, and Family Systems. I completed an additional year of training to become certified in EcoTherapy as I have found using nature and mindfulness to be a very healing modality.
While therapy can be challenging at times, I want my clients to find comfort and safety in their sessions. It is my hope that more often than not, you will look forward to therapy and you will see your efforts paying off in your life and relationships.
