About me
I have over 15 years of experience working with kids, teens, young adults, women and families. I draw from different therapeutic modalities to best match you (or your child's) treatment goals with experience utilizing CBT/TF-CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing plus Play and Art Therapy and treating PTSD, ADHD and other behavioral and mental health issues.
Has depression, anxiety, trauma or just day-to-day life got in the way of you living your happiest and most fulfilled life? Or maybe work, school, friends or family have become overwhelming? Are you ready to take back some of your power and get on the path to feeling better? Well then welcome! My goal as a therapist is to help you get back to feeling your best self while working through some of the stress and difficulties that life often throws at us. I truly believe everyone has the capability to heal, change, grow and learn - we sometimes just need a little help to get us there. Lets work together to help you get the skills and connections you need so that you can get back to living a happier, healthier and more content life. If you're ready to take that next step towards healing, please email, call or text. In person and telehealth appointments are currently available.
