Professional/Personal Biography
I am passionate about working with my clients to explore new and more helpful means to navigate through life. For nearly ten years I have worked in different types of positions and locations providing clinical treatment. I utilize a collaborative, strengths-based approach when working with clients in order to provide them with concrete skills and tools they can utilize both within and outside of therapy. I have experience in a range of different areas including, trauma, anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/attention deficit disorder, relationship difficulties, attachment and self-esteem. I have experience working with adults and children struggling with OCD. I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention Training to manage and overcome symptoms of OCD. I have experience working within school systems, home environments, residential and outpatient settings. I have also assisted parents, teachers and caregivers to implement effective parenting approaches for children struggling with oppositional behaviors. I emphasize the relational aspect of therapy in order to provide an environment that feels safe and supportive for each person.
