Love every part of who you are. Counseling can help. Changing your personal narrative is key.
I am an intern and graduate student in the professional counseling program at Ottawa University emphasizing in the treatment of trauma, abuse, and deprivation.
I love addressing thinking errors and cognitive distortions using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help individuals overcome negative thinking patterns and achieve mental wellness. Whether it's combating all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, or emotional reasoning, I provide a supportive space for growth and healing.
Before diving into the world of counseling, I spent a decade in education, shaping young minds in the classroom. While teaching, I became increasingly aware of the profound impact that emotional distress and unaddressed cognitive distortions can have on a person's ability to learn, grow, and thrive. Drawing from my experiences in education, I bring a unique perspective, blending the art of teaching with the science of therapy.
I love working with children, teens, and adults. I am trained in treating acute stress and trauma using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am also trained to use CAMS- Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality.
In my free time, I like to play pickleball, travel, and spend time with family and friends. I also value having time for myself to decompress and relax through hiking, reading, and playing piano.
