*New Therapist at Verdant, Immediate Openings Available*
In therapy, I want to provide a safe and inclusive space for all individuals to heal at their own pace. I feel privileged to walk alongside individuals as they make sense of themselves in this world. Just as every individual is unique, my approach includes an eclectic style utilizing ACT and CBT modalities. My graduate studies focused on trauma-informed care and PTSD, which included clinical elements from various trauma therapy modalities as well. I have experience working in outpatient and inpatient settings, addressing a variety of mental health concerns, such as bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, ASD and ADHD, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and PTSD. Although my experience is broad, I enjoy working with trauma to help bring insight into what is impacting your over-all well-being.
