Children, teens, adults, CBT, DBT, ACT, eating disorders, trauma
I come to therapy with an international lens and strong belief that every person has a unique and important story to tell. I have a background in education and have spent over six years working with families and children. I am passionate about removing the stigma of mental health and teaching people skills to help them face the challenges of life with confidence. I believe that community and connection is at the core of what it means to be human and healing comes from feeling valued, heard and understood. Because we are all unique I partner with clients to use a variety of modalities including ACT, DBT, CBT, Narrative therapy and Existential Therapy. At the core of my approach is active listening and empathetic curiosity. I seek to partner with my clients to discover what barriers are preventing them from having mental wellness. My aim is to collaborate with clients to remove barriers, process through trauma/difficult emotions and create a plan for wellness. I am excited to work at Specialty Counseling and Consulting and to get to meet all my new co-workers.
