Feeling stuck, incomplete, or helpless is a debilitating place to be. I hope to provide a space for individuals to reflect on and experience their whole selves so they can heal. I have years of experience working with individuals from ages 5 to mid-adulthood. I have helped those who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, traumatic grief, complex trauma and PTSD, behavioral issues, parenting, and/or family issues. For children, I offer a playful and engaging approach that is conducive to their level of development.
I acknowledge individuals as their whole selves, including their culture, trauma, and strengths. My treatment is based on psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT models. I am trained in TF-CBT as well as mindfulness. I often use play, art, and music as tools for processing, however I am flexible to provide treatment that best suits an individual.
I consider it an honor to come alongside an individual and walk with them through whatever obstacles they may face. I will offer you a non-judgmental space for you to process life stressors and heal from any brokenness in your life. Together we will unlock any suppressed strengths and abilities that can be used to further your goals.
