LICSW, 7 years of experience
I have worked in mental health for about 7 years now. I have worked in a range of settings including at an inpatient hospital setting, home therapy, and outpatient therapy. I have worked with both children, adolescents and adults experiencing depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, challenging family dynamics, grief and loss, and life transitions. I use a empathetic and calming approach in my session that allows every client to be heard and understood. I adapt my approach to every individual. Through your sessions with me, you will build up your skills to better understand and manage your feelings that are currently weighing you down.
My clients can expect a welcoming and friendly environment that will seek to establish a productive and therapeutic relationship from the start. I will start by getting to know you and your unique story and develop a collaborative action plan for positive change in our work together
I have an easy going and friendly demeanor that allows clients to feel comfortable and safe working with me. I also offer patience and persistence, as well as a non-judgemental approach that allows me to meet clients where they are at and provide guidance in their journey, wherever that may be.
I enjoy working with young adults, and adolescents. I specialize in addressing trauma, as well as anxiety and depression.
I use DBT to help clients obtain self-awareness of their emotions and learn to control them in appropriate ways. I use DBT to help clients find tools to help themselves through crisis and difficult situations in healthy and appropriate ways. I also use DBT to help clients form productive and healthy relationships with others.
I use TFCBT to help clients heal from the trauma of their past and reframe the messages and themes from earlier trauma in their lives. I use a form of trauma narrative as an exposure method to help clients talk and explore their past traumas
I use ACT as a method to help clients find acceptance in themselves in a non-judgemental and healthy way. I help clients connect with their values and to find happiness and joy in their lives through a value-based existence.
