Therapy for teens & adults in Richland, WA.
Hello
I grew up in a small town in Idaho. I found my way in life at a later age. I have a Masters degree in Social Work and am currently working on my Doctorate of Social Work. I have been through many different life experiences that allow me to have deep empathy and understanding. Been there and done that. I have a thorough understanding of addiction, and I know how deep addiction can run.
I, as a human and as a therapist, have a passion for helping others be understood and to understand themselves. I believe everyone needs someone to feel safe with to be able to grow. I try to foster emotional safety in every meeting, and I aim to be easy to talk to. I will support, guide and challenge clients to be the best version of themselves.
My primary styles of therapy include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with additional Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques. I am not currently certified in DBT, however I incorporate DBT techniques into my practice as I am passionate and believe wholeheartedly in the power of DBT. I am currently under clinical supervision as I work toward my full license; my supervisor is Dr. Kade Sharp at Spectrum Counseling.
