(she/her)
Compassionate and empathetic therapist with a deep passion for helping individuals who are struggling with situational stressors or mental illness. I specialize in working with people going through loss and grief (death, divorce, job loss, health issues), trauma, domestic violence and narcissistic abuse, depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders. I have 11 years of experience in the mental health field, including forensic and community mental health. I have experience working with teens, adults and older adults.
In our first session you can expect me to assess for needs, gather information and identify impairments. Discuss treatment needs and reason for seeking help.
My greatest strength as a provider is my empathy , ability to see beyond the surface symptoms and help patient discover deep rooted triggers and provide tools to alleviate symptoms. I have a passion for therapy and whole heartedly believe change is possible. I am a hands-on therapist who will help identify strengths but also unhelpful behaviors if needed. My lived experience helps me understand what a client might be experiencing and provides me a deeper understanding of their issues.
I enjoy working with clients who are motivated towards change, willing to step out of their comfort zone and delve deep into their triggers and symptoms. I also enjoy a challenge for those clients who are hesitant and don't believe change is possible or therapy is helpful.
