Hi, I’m Payton. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and young adults who are having a hard time with big feelings, stress, anxiety, sadness, or changes in their lives. Many of the kids and teens I work with feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure how to talk about what’s going on, and that’s okay! My goal is to help them feel supported, heard, and less alone. I take a warm, down-to-earth approach and focus on building trust first. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” kids, but it’s about helping them understand their emotions, learn skills to cope with stress, and feel more confident being themselves. I often support young people who struggle with emotional outbursts, self-criticism, friendships, family changes, or school pressure. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, but I keep sessions practical and engaging. I also believe parents and caregivers play an important role, and I work collaboratively with families and care teams to support growth both in and outside of sessions. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where children and families can build resilience, strengthen communication, and move forward together.

I chose to pursue a course of professional study and work, that has allowed me to make an impact on the lives of people.

I have a passion for helping clients gain recovery, and to reach a state of openness where healing may begin. I have found that the most rewarding element of counseling is helping people reach a state of joy where they are living their fullest life, and I am dedicated to working with each and every client towards this goal. I am an experienced, well tested, compassionate, and highly devoted mental health counselor with years of professional experience counseling individuals and families from different backgrounds suffering from mental health conditions, including major depression, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, crisis situations, addiction, and more. I have an outgoing personality, along with expertise in rapport building and utilize a wide range of therapeutic applications to help clients develop solutions and gain insight into their situations. With the theoretical knowledge I have gained through my studies, combined with my years of practical and professional experience, I have been blessed to play this essential role in the lives of my clients; and it is my goal always to continue improving my ability to make an impact.
