School Based Therapist
I am passionate about helping children, teens, and young adults feel more confident, connected, and capable in their daily lives. With experience in both education and mental health, I understand how challenges such as anxiety, trauma, emotional stress, and life transitions can affect school, relationships, and overall well-being. I use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, CBT, attachment-based therapy, somatic strategies, and IFS-informed work, to help clients better understand themselves, build coping skills, and create lasting positive change. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a teacher, and that experience deepened my appreciation for the resilience and potential of young people. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each client as a unique individual and helping them discover their strengths. Friends and colleagues would describe me as warm, curious, and easy to talk to. Outside of work, I enjoy learning about personal growth, healing, and the ways people build resilience through life’s challenges. I believe that meaningful change happens through connection, compassion, and a little bit of courage, and I strive to bring those qualities into every session.
