Experience

I have worked in public school settings as an intern working with adolescents dealing with grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as worked in school settings as an ERMHS (Educationally Related Mental Health Services) therapist working for adolescents on the Autism Spectrum, adolescents with trauma, and adolescents struggling with ADHD.

I have worked in the private setting working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults dealing with life transitions, grief, trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

My passion is to work with with families on dealing with parenting challenges and helping the family system come together and heal as a whole. To bring more peace, love, and connection in the home. I also love to work with women on perinatal mental health, including helping women navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Approach

I believe in fostering the therapeutic relationship first and foremost. I believe strength-based approach and on meeting the client you they are at in life. Together we will build a plan for sessions and determine the best treatment method.

I utilize a psychodynamic and attachment based approach. I use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) as well as tools from DBT, CBT, and mindfulness-based interventions.
