I have experience providing direct mental health and behavioral services to children and adults experiencing anxiety; depression; relationship and family issues; personality and mood disorders; stress related to sexual orientation and gender identity; employment related stress; navigating grief and loss; motivation, self esteem, and confidence; fostering self-compassion; & coping with expected and unexpected life changes. . I have provided treatment and services in a variety of settings, including the community, schools, in-home, and residential treatment facilities. I believe our therapeutic relationship is one built upon mutual respect between equals with our own lived experiences. My style and approach utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Supportive Therapy, Solution-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of approaches that may include mindfulness practice, journaling, worksheets, and reflection. I will collaborate with you to develop a therapeutic relationship focused on achieving your desired outcome, whether that is improved insight, support, symptom relief, problem-solving, developing adaptive coping skills, or something else. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. It is my pleasure to support & empower you in that journey. Read more Show less
