I am a highly driven and compassionate professional working in mental health counseling. I have a strong passion for working with children and adolescents, but have recently been doing some incredible work with adults as well. My goal is to assist individuals and families to grow through self-compassion, active listening and communication, acceptance, and mindfulness. I use a trauma-informed care approach and often incorporate play and art therapy techniques. I also offer EMDR therapy and eclectic talk therapy. I strongly emphasize kindness and compassion and always hold a nonjudgemental environment; I understand how scary reaching out for help can be on so many levels, but I hope to help make your journey as comfortable and accepting as possible. My specialties include working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder, issues pertaining to the LGBTQ+ community, PTSD and trauma, as well as anxiety disorders. I put great efforts into maintaining ethical responsibilities and increasing multicultural competency.
