My years of focus have centered around helping tweens and teens (including body image distortion, anxiety, academic improvement skills, grief, self-harm, and/or suicidal ideation), young adults, and adults (anxiety, substance use, and family relational issues). I have practiced for over 9 years in various I specialize in utilizing Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), and Brief therapeutic models. These types of techniques are effective for mental health disorders and/or life issues.
