About me
I specialize in working with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBQTIA, neurodiversity. Contact me today to get started.
I am an experienced and highly qualified therapist with over 11 years of experience in providing therapy for anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have a Master's degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA), and I have extensive knowledge and experience in providing evidence-based therapies.
I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to support you in finding strength in recovery from negative anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is one therapy that I use as well. I am EMDR trained and do trauma work. I focus on unconditional positive regard for everyone.
My passion is working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety and depression as well as individuals who are on the neurodiversity spectrum; including autism and ADHD and may have learning differences like dyslexia. I believe my role as a therapist is to support you in finding your strengths and working to overcome whatever may hold you back. I am truly humbled to be your therapist.
