I specialize in anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and trauma history, using different treatment modalities to set goals for progress. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-based work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My focus I work with clients at all stages of figuring out ways to better themselves or improve their way of life. I collaborate with clients to set goals and build skills to navigate difficult situations. My clinical experience includes working with young children, adolescents/teens, and adults. My communication style My communication style is to engage with clients to better understand how they are affected by difficult situations in their lives.
