Integrating creativity into healing is my passion. My goal as a therapist is to cultivate a safe space where you feel comfortable bringing your own passions and interests into the session. In therapy, I'll help you to heal from your hurts and meet your goals holistically. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and their families to process issues related to trauma, attachment, self-harm/suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, anger management, divorce, grief, identity development, and life transitions.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in conjunction with a Person-centered, Experiential, and Trauma-informed approach to assist clients in meeting their goals. Experiential therapy is one tool that I lean heavily into at our East Limestone office. There, I can bring nature and play into sessions to help my clients feel grounded and stimulated.
