My professional skills include working in inpatient and outpatient settings. In the past few years I have been working remotely. I have knowledge and experience in working with individuals with various mental health matters including but not limited to mood disorders, grief, trauma focused, anxiety, and addiction. I especially enjoy working with adolescents; however, I also have experience in working with adults and families. I mostly enjoy one-on-one individual therapy. I believe my professional background in the Arts contributes to my creativity as a therapist.
One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is the engagement, including building a trusting and supportive relationship. I believe that positive thoughts and humor bring positive energy to get through my daily struggles. Some of my preferred therapy approaches include, but are not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Solution Focused therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I prefer working from a strength’s perspective and watching people grow.
