EXPERIENCE
I have 5 years of experience in the mental health and social services field including in schools, residential treatment facilities, the criminal justice system, and department of health and human services.
SPECIALTIES
Including but not limited to: Anxiety, OCD, depression and other mood disorders, life transitions, Body image, perfectionism, work-life balance, shame, and self-esteem. I also have experience working with individuals re-entering society after a period of incarceration or dealing with shame or other obstacles due to a criminal record.
MY APPROACH
My goal is to create a safe, welcoming and empowering environment for each of my clients. Taking the step to invest in yourself is a decision that one should be proud of as it is not always an easy journey. No matter what brings you into my office, I strive to meet you where you are and determine steps to get you where you want to be.
My approach is client-focused and individualized. I aim to walk alongside you in your journey to improve your overall well-being by identifying resources, healthy-coping strategies, and tools to empower self-growth and overcome the obstacles life brings.
The therapeutic approaches I am most influenced by are: Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment, trauma-informed and compassion focused. I do not take a one-size fits all approach, but rather what fits your individual needs.
In my office, you will be supported, listened to, and encouraged. It would be an honor to work with you!
