Philosophy of Counseling

I like a trauma-informed, holistic approach to therapy, drawing from evidenced-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DPT), Narrative Therapy, and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI).  My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs and strengths.  I walk alongside children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life transitions.

Life can be overwhelming at times and reaching out for help isn't always easy--but it's often the first step towards healing.  You are not alone.  I am here to walk with you as we navigate these challenges together.  

Experience

I have clinical experience working with people of all ages and from diverse walks of life.  I've supported individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, PTSD, trauma-related challenges and others.
