Having worked in a community counseling setting and as an elementary school counselor, I’ve had the opportunity to work with all ages and people throughout various journeys in their lives.
Being in a school setting allowed me to hone in on my skills of working with children, parents and educators. Knowing the unique stressors that educators experience in the field allows me to come from a place of understanding for those in the field.
Working with women throughout the many life transitions that we face, is an area that I am passionate about. Helping to make those transition periods less lonely and more transformative is how I like to approach my time with clients. Making people feel seen, heard, and validated is important to me.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and work from a client centered approach. If you are interested during your sessions, I also find using art and music as ways to communicate and express feelings when words abandon us. I believe that focusing on your mental health is just as important as focusing on your physical health and often go hand in hand.
