Life is a journey full of challenges that can bring about stress, anxiety, depression and an overall feeling of helplessness. My favorite quote is "Only you can decide what breaks you." I am passionate about working with children, teens and families. I believe the client is the expert in their own mental health, and when a client is seeking help, they need a therapist to provide them tools to rebuild and rebalance. I use elements of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and building a Positive Mindset to help clients explore their strengths and limitations. I encourage clients to learn new coping skills, improve communication, problem solve, increase self-reflection and be open to understanding other perspectives to develop balanced relationships. I will be there to support the client to navigate challenges, listen and encourage them to develop into the best version of themselves.
