About

My therapeutic approach includes Solution and Compassion focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapies with a Strengths-Based approach. It is my ambition and privilege to serve clients as they learn recognize false beliefs as to why bad things happen to them and develop more proactive ways to cope focusing on internal strengths and abilities. I also use Acceptance Commitment Therapy as a way to deal with negative thoughts, feelings, symptoms or circumstances and encourage mindfulness strategies to move on from negative experiences. I have served in the public school system, serving children and adolescents with behavioral and mental health concerns while offering supports to the family. I've also been an advocate in the local crisis center for women and children experiencing domestic abuse as well as supporting children and families involved with Child Protective Services. I believe we each hold the key within ourselves to unlock our own healing journey and it is my passion to walk alongside those who are struggling to find the strengths within to heal, move on, and experience their lives in a more positive way.
