A passion I have in life is to help others struggling with their mental health. I strive to create a space where my clients feel safe and supported. I utilize a holistic and collaborative approach with a trauma-informed mindset when working with my clients. Through our work, I will adjust to meet you where you are at, in a non-judgmental environment, in order to help you get tools, support, and education, as you navigate the obstacles in your life.
I have experience working with children, adolescents and their families. I have worked in community mental health and school social work. Some of the mental health concerns I have experience working with include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and self-esteem issues. Although I utilize different approaches such as CBT and DBT, I have found success in bringing in different expressive approaches as well such as art, music, and movement.
