About My Clients

Addressing mental health as a child or adolescent can be a difficult step to take. Personally, I believe you are the expert of yourself and your story, while I am here to guide and help you through the difficult parts without judgement and with compassion and understanding. Whether this is addressing everyday problems, transitions in life, or family and parenting issues, to depression, anxiety, or trauma, this step to improve your mental health can help to improve your life as a whole.

My Background and Approach

I have worked with children and adolescents for the past 10 years through my practicum, internship, residency, and since receiving my license. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to work with you on making small changes that lead to bigger changes to help with improving your overall mental health, addressing issues and concerns, and reach your personal goals. Additionally, I am trained in juvenile forensic counseling, adolescent community reinforcement approach (A-CRA), trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT), juvenile competency, and adoption competency.
