About

Life can bring so many challenges. Life as a teen seems like it heightens those challenges at times. Bouncing back from a pandemic where you are going to school in person and virtually has made so many feel isolated/anxious. This goes for kids, teens and adults! I have learned through my own personal experiences, what it looks like to listen to a persons issues, needs and goals. I have experience both in my professional career as well as through my own mental health journey what it means to be a person who actively listens. I understand there are times when insight is needed but there is also value in having someone simply listen.

I offer a variety of intervention based techniques. I am skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy as well as knowledgeable in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Through these modalities of therapy, I am able to assist clients in understanding how to regulate and process through those difficult emotions and behaviors.

Many times as teenagers, it feels as though no one is listening to what you want or need. A lot of times, the feeling of not being heard and/or validated is enough to make your mental health that much worse. Let me allow you to have a safe space to talk and get the help you deserve.
