Taking the first step towards healing is a courageous decision, and I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together clients can expect a warm welcome and a comforting environment where they can openly express themselves. Using clear and relatable language, I will establish clear expectations and prioritize building trust and rapport. I will complete a biopsychosocial assessment and together we will prioritize your goals and wishes. Overall, clients can anticipate a compassionate and supportive space where their well-being is valued and their journey towards healing is guided with empathy and understanding.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My personal strengths lie in working with teens, individuals, families, first responders and healthcare workers on the front lines. Specifically, I understand that adolescence can be a complex and transformative phase, where young minds navigate through emotional turbulence, identity exploration, and peer pressures. In my current full-time role as a school-based therapist in a rural high school, I am able to combine my expertise with my passion for working with teens. I understand the importance of tailoring therapeutic approaches to the specific needs of the students and families within this unique setting. With a compassionate approach, I help teens harness their strengths, enhance self-esteem, and build healthy coping mechanisms to embrace their journey of self-discovery. Being a part of a first responder family has given me unique insights into the mental and emotional demands of these professions. I am deeply attuned to the stressors and traumas that first responders, medical professionals and their families experience, and I am dedicated to providing them with the tools to manage these challenges effectively. Whether it's addressing critical incidents, managing stress, or promoting emotional well-being, I am committed to supporting the mental health of those who dedicate their lives to serving our communities.
