Clinical Focus My passion is working with teens and young adults, and the majority of my clientele is within the 15-30 age range. Clients have noted that my relaxed personality sprinkled with humor helps them feel comfortable right away. I am EMDR trained and provide a nonjudgmental space where clients can fully be themselves, embracing their race/sexuality/identity/beliefs. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance so I prioritize making sure clients feel accepted and understood. I emphasize empowering people to make their own changes at a pace they are comfortable with, while challenging them to utilize the skills they've learned in therapy outside of sessions - After all, I believe the ultimate goal of therapy is to get out of therapy! I have experience treating substance abuse, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, mood disorders, and self-worth. I also have experience helping teens and adults work through trauma, as well as working with teens involved in the criminal justice system. In my spare time... I am a crazy dog and cat mom to four of the cutest furry boys. I enjoy cooking and baking but my guilty pleasure is a good nap between binge watching reality tv and true crime documentaries. When I get bored with being a couch potato you can find me at concerts/music festivals and traveling to new places. For me music soothes the soul and traveling is the greatest way to recharge!
