My passion is working with adolescents and young adults; what some would call Generation Z and the Millennials. I work to assist with creating stability within themselves to then work towards creating stability outside of themselves. I strive to provide a nurturing and safe atmosphere to develop rapport and develop goals to assist in becoming the best person they can be. I aim to explore their emotions, learn effective coping strategies, and make changes that push them toward healing and full wellness. I aim to meet my clients where they are, increase awareness of their emotional and cognitive experiences/behaviors and reach goals. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, chronic suicidal behavior or thoughts, behavioral difficulties, self-esteem, self-injurious behavior, socialization issues, school issues, and personality disorders. I also have experience working with families. The family system is very important to individual functionality in the world. I utilize creative and expressive interventions to assist clients in identifying goals, exploring emotions, creating a personalized array of skills to keep at their disposal, and creating their own safe space to tackle the world. Even though the journey or road may be difficult, I look forward to working with you on your journey to becoming your best self.
