My clients describe me as:
This is a safe space. I am not here to shame you or minimize your thoughts, feelings, or actions. I am here for you, with your needs in mind.
Something to know about my approach is:
I tend to use a lot of CBT and DBT. There is strength in radical acceptance and being able to identify your needs without feeling guilt or shame for asserting those needs.
Together, we will:
Generalize all intended goals and then prioritize based on both client preference and immediate need. I do things very collaboratively and prefer for clients to take the lead in saying what they need.
I specialize in working with people who:
I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families for various reasons. I feel most comfortable working with adolescents (age 13-17) and adults in individual therapy sessions, but am not uncomfortable with PRN family or couples sessions.
I became a therapist because:
I saw a need for someone to embrace persons with mental illness and provide a loving and caring environment. The very environment I longed for myself.
More about me and my practice:
My approach to therapy is very person-centered and strengths-focused. I have experience with a plethora of mental health illnesses, including anxiety, depression, self-harming, relationships and boundary setting, addiction, and behavior change.
