I am passionate about meeting people where they are at, and using an
eclectic approach with each individual. I believe everyone is deserving of a safe
space to heal and to nurture the necessary skills to approach life’s challenges.
I have
considerable experience providing mental health care in inpatient, outpatient, and school
settings. I have helped children and families with a range of challenges including trauma,
grief/loss, anxiety, self-esteem, attachment, ADHD, depression, behavioral concerns, and
parenting. I strive to provide
a safe space for families and couples to gain deeper understanding of relationship dynamics,
nurture positive change, learn effective coping strategies, and resolve relationship
barriers. Additionally, I am qualified in civil and family mediation which provides another layer
of conflict resolution skills that are helpful when clients are seeking a neutral and confidential
setting to openly discuss and process their views to effectively resolve problems. I am currently in pursuit of licensure and under supervision with Amanda Davis.
I look forward to meeting you!
