Work History
I specialize in working with women and college students struggling with anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who “gets” them on a deeper level, is easy to talk to, open-minded, and relatable, because therapy should be a place where you feel seen and heard. Sessions with me are non-judgmental and go at your own pace. My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Mindfulness means I have the expertise you need and deserve when working on healing the relationship with self and others. At the end of the day, you want to know that you are working with someone who “gets” what it means to be challenged with anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges.
