I am a licensed clinical social worker with five years of experience working with youth and their families . I work with children and teens in my full time position and enjoy working with this population. I have experience with using cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and person centered therapy. I tend to you use solution focused and person centered therapy most often. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns and challenges. Some being depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral concerns, homelessness, self-harm and parenting struggles.
My counseling style is inviting and a safe space for all. I tend to build trust and a relationship with clients to be able to support their needs. I am a great listener and treat each client with respect.
