Through my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I provide treatment to children, teenagers, adults and families, focusing on my clients’ strengths to help them to establish meaningful relationships and pursue fulfilling lives. Trust and collaboration set the foundation of the therapeutic process, and so it is vital for me to meet my clients where they are as we work together to individualize treatment based upon their unique qualities and experiences.
My therapeutic style is grounded in a range of evidence-based practices, and can be described as humanistic, existential, relational and trauma-informed. Across nearly a decade of therapeutic experience, I have had many opportunities to support those presenting with a history of trauma, grief, sensory and sleeping difficulties, anxiety, irritability, ADHD, relationship conflict, and other significant life stressors.
I have received specialized training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) and Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), which has refined my skills in providing developmentally appropriate interventions, facilitating open communication in relationships, and holding a safe space for clients to navigate uncomfortable truths and unknowns.
I work to integrate holistic values and mental health in an ever-changing society based upon the belief that there is no one way of healing, and that it is not often a linear process. This allows flexibility for creative interventions beyond traditional talk-therapy, including via art, mindfulness, play and movement.
As a certified yoga teacher, I also regularly practice the skills I teach, understanding the challenge as well as the impact these strategies can have. This allows me to be fully present in my work with clients as we explore thoughts, emotions and memories, to develop an understanding of our responses to the world around us through curiosity and compassion
