I have had the privilege of getting to know and connect with people from every walk of life for almost 20 years. These experiences have helped me to understand that we all have so much in common as humans trying to navigate and accept the struggles we all have. I value all that I have learned from my clients, and hopefully helped them to find a level of peace in their lives. Using a variety of techniques, such as DBT and mindfulness with adults, couples and teens, I work to help individuals come to understand life choices. My experience has been counseling with adults, couples and teens, in many areas, but centering largely around anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. I approach therapy from a cognitive/behavioral view, with a major emphasis on family history and how it affects current brain function. Behavioral exercises are vital to managing symptoms. Some of the techniques I have found most useful include DBT, EMDR and mindfulness.
