About
As a therapist, I understand that it can take time to develop a relationship and open up to a stranger about personal life and history. My goal is to work with each person to create a trusting relationship that allows each individual to be heard and respected. I value looking at each client's individual and unique strengths to help them find creative strategies that best fit their needs and lifestyles so that they can be successful in both their short-term and long-term goals. I have worked with adolescents, teens, and adults treating various diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and trauma. Additionally, I have worked in settings that include children & family, community mental health, and corrections facilities. I have experience in crisis work and utilize CBT, DBT, and holistic approaches in my practice.
