I have experience working with a range of clients including children who are five and older, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in a variety of settings from clinical to school-based, and feel comfortable and confident in creating an environment in any space to help individuals feel comfortable and promote optimal growth and well-being. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, adjustment disorders, depression, life transitions, stress, and eating disorders as well as providing a setting for clients to learn skills and insights to manage and regulate their emotions.
