I started my professional career in the child welfare field. I transitioned to the mental health field in 2017 where I have provided individual, group and family therapy services to children and their families. I primarily work with students, providing mental health resources and interventions to their educators and family supports. I am open to meeting with clients during weekday evening hours and some weekends.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first meeting we can begin with brief introductions where I can share additional information about myself. I would want to know what brought you to meet today.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
A provider who is genuine and can connect with their patient beyond their symptoms, prognosis or diagnosis. A provider who holds space for their client to feel safe enough to openly share is key to creating and maintaining a positive rapport.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Lending a hand, offering someone help, is much different than receiving or asking for that help. Meeting with a trusted professional and sharing your struggles or personal life is not easy. Let's begin this journey; focus on where you are and where you want to be at your pace.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Exploring how your experiences and world views currently influence oneself, we can practice and increase awareness of certain situations (triggers) and develop new skills to help manage similar situations.
Motivational Interviewing
On the pathway of change or healing, we often become unmotivated, resistant and seek refuge in old habits. As we discuss and passively chat, MI is designed to draw out your own meaning, importance and capacity for change/healing; with the goal of empowering you to become an active participant.
