Being witness to their journey while helping to unlock their fullest potential and recognizing they can live a happy and stable life with mental illness, is such a rewarding experience. I utilize evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and Dialectal Behavioral Therapy. I also have a current certificate as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and working to complete certification in Dialectal Behavioral Therapy. My experience within the field has allowed me to gain a working understanding of various mental and behavioral health diagnoses to include anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, mood and personality disorders, trauma and stressor-related disorders, grief, life cycle transitions, self-esteem, communication, boundaries, self-injurious behavior, and suicidal ideation. My goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to form a plan that will foster growth and empowerment while working to build a sense of hope and excitement that there will be better days to come.
