At a young age I started playing sports, specifically softball, and was raised to push through adversity and to focus on becoming a better version of myself. This mentality translated to my personal and professional life as I have continued to try to strive through the obstacles. As a clinician, I have worked with children and adolescents work through trauma and learn different coping strategies to manage their behaviors and choices. Additionally, I provided family and group counseling addressing a variety of mental health concerns. I weave cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing in sessions with clients based on their individual needs. I completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Prepare Enrich to better serve couples.
