(she/her)
I am passionate about genuine connection and supporting others in improving their wellbeing. Participating in therapy is such a unique relationship and to have a successful relationship, trust is so important. My goal is to connect authentically so that you also feel safe in showing up with your whole self. Before becoming a therapist, I was a preschool teacher and residential therapy technician for autistic youth. I've been a licensed mental health clinician for the past 9, working with cli5- 90 in a variety of community and school based settings. Now, I'm focusing on adolescent and adult clients who are looking for collaboration to explore more about themselves and determine how they want to participate in their lives- this may include learning emotional regulation skills, finding new perspectives, coping with mental health symptoms, or improving their relationships. I look forward to connecting with you and being part of your growth!
Our sessions will focus on gathering a holistic understanding of your current concerns and past experiences that have influenced where you are in your life. Going forward, we'll work together to clarify your needs and the growth you are hoping to pursue. Whether you are looking for support with managing mental health symptoms, coping with difficult life experiences, wanting to repair relationships, or develop new ways to increase your life satisfaction, we can work together to create the change and peace you wish to have in your life.
I am skilled at blending therapeutic methods to customize treatment to the specific individual I am working with. I integrate interventions to adapt to your specific needs, while still bringing my true self to our time together. Building connection and trust is crucial to a successful therapeutic relationship. I really enjoy when clients get comfortable using humor in sessions which helps reflect our authentic selves.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Clients often seek treatment for anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, family changes, behavior problems, emotional regulation concerns, and more. Building trust and connection are the foundations of a successful therapeutic relationship so I strive to create a welcoming and psychologically safe environment to help you reach your goals.
