I am passionate about working with people; it is my mission to provide services that bring clarity and healing to people's lives. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with mental health and behavioral health needs. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused therapeutic approaches when working with individuals. I believe people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are closely linked. I utilize these approaches to bring about awareness while also discussing potential solutions to problems. I will partner with you, challenge you, and support you through this exploration and healing process. Throughout my time in this field, I have experience working with several different populations. I began by working with human trafficking victims and later transitioned to outpatient substance abuse. I later moved on to working with foster and adopted children living in residential placements. I became a therapist because I too have had hurt in my life and reached out to gain understanding and healing. Part of being a good therapist is that I would never ask you to do something that I, myself, wouldn't do or haven't done. I understand reaching out and beginning this process is intimidating; but I am here to walk through this journey with you.
