About Me
I have been studying and working in the mental health field for approximately six years. I have experience working in public schools with children ages 5-18 and most recently worked with our local community service board delivering individual outpatient services to adolescents and adults. I have been studying trauma work and resolution for the past three years and have completed level 1 training of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (a body-oriented approach to trauma resolution). I am certified in Adolescent and Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) and have used this model to work with teenagers struggling with substance use and addiction. I have experience and a strong interest in leading therapy groups as well.
In my time out of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, connecting with friends, and exploring the lovely area in which we live.
My areas of interest and specialty include:
-Working with adolescents (ages 12-24)
-Trauma resolution
-Mindfulness
-Human sexuality
-Existential questions and issues
-Depression, anxiety, and mental health/wellness
-Substance abuse and addictions
-Life transitions
-Grief and loss
-Relationship issues
