About My Clients
I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults to develop healthier lifestyles and improve emotional regulation, communication and stress management skills. I specialize in working with clients around issues related to anxiety, depression, and trauma in regard to the impact they have on the client’s relationships and daily functioning. Many of my clients may follow nontraditional lifestyles and/or are undergoing various life transitions. Currently, I only have daytime availability.
My Background and Approach
I have worked in a variety of environments and positions within the mental health field since 2009 and much of my experience has been centered around children, adolescents and emerging adults. In the past 6 years, I have since transitioned into working with adults of all ages as well. I enjoy working in collaboration with my clients to identify their personal strengths and utilize them to bring about positive changes in their lives. I do so by employing various therapeutic techniques (including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing) in an empathetic, inclusive and trauma-informed manner that is personal to the client's needs and concerns. I am person-centered in my approach and as such, my methods are less structured and more focused on building a safe and trusting relationship with my clients.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in allowing my clients to direct the path of treatment as much as possible. It's important to me to meet my clients where they are at and move at their pace. I also strongly believe that life requires a sense of humor and try to integrate that into my work with clients as appropriate. Being able to laugh with my clients while we work is a true joy in my opinion. I am a supporter/member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I believe in supporting anti-racist movements such as Black Lives Matter. Animals can be very therapeutic and as such, clients may see glimpses of my 3 cats and my dog in our sessions.
