The idea of starting therapy can be daunting, especially for children and adults who are already feeling overwhelmed! I have a strong passion for working with youth - I tend to gravitate toward young clients struggling with history of trauma, frequent anxiety, and difficulties with regulating emotions and/or behaviors. That being said, I’ve recently done some wonderful work with adults as well. I am especially passionate about helping individuals who have had difficulty enjoying therapy previously, as I believe sessions should typically feel empowering rather than upsetting. View 3 Photos I focus strongly on CBT, or how behaviors, thoughts, and feelings interact and affect each other, as well as EMDR which allows the brain's natural healing processes to work on past traumas. Interested in a different approach? I am frequently seeking new trainings and methods to meet clients' needs! I strongly emphasize kindness and compassion and always hold a nonjudgemental environment; I understand how scary reaching out for help can be on so many levels, but I hope to help make your journey as comfortable and accepting as possible. If a phone call is too much to start, feel free to shoot me a text first or request a free consultation!
