Hi! I’m so excited to meet you and so glad you’re here! I have experience with adolescents and young adults in many different levels of care (PHP/IOP/individual). I work hard to create a welcoming, calming, and open minded environment to help you feel comfortable and share at your own pace. I hold a passionate belief that everyone deserves to feel safe, loved, and empowered and can benefit from therapy at some point in their life. I enjoy working with clients with trauma, anxiety, depression, & ADHD.
During therapy I provide a non-judgmental approach with a focus on both confidentiality and open conversations with both adult/parents and kids/adolescents.
If you’re an adolescent:
I’m so proud of you for considering therapy! Life is hard and I want to be able to make sure you have all the tools and resources you need to succeed in life. Everything that is said in sessions stays between you and I (I won’t tell your parents everything until you want to talk about it) unless there is current child/elder abuse or thoughts of harming self or others. I want you to have time to work through problems in therapy while empowering you to talk with your parents about problems as needed. Your voice is so important!
If you’re a parent:
I’m so glad you’re taking this step for your child! Being a parent is hard and I appreciate you taking the time to ensure that your child’s health is a priority. Everything that is said in sessions stays between the child and myself unless there is current child/elder abuse or thoughts of harming self or others to keep confidentiality. However, I do provide parent sessions to keep an open line of communication regarding progress and anything else that may come up. Your opinion, observations, and concerns about your child are very important to me!
If you’re a young adult:
Adulting is hard and I’m so proud of you for taking the step to better yourself! In therapy I work to empower you to make your own choices, identify/feel your emotions, and process through your needs. Your feelings and struggles are valid!
Thank you for considering me as your therapist and I can’t wait to meet you!
