It can be hard to start the process of healing. I strive to provide you with a safe non-judgmental place to explore, heal, learn and grow. I have been a Mental Health Professional for 16 years, Registered Play Therapy Supervisor, Qualified Supervisor for LMFT/LMHC in FL and Approved Supervisor for LMFT, LPC and LPCC in MN. I am trained in EMDR. I provide therapy services for people as young as 12 years old through adulthood. I work with individuals, children and families to focus on building coping, honoring experiences, and building skills to help enhance life.
Welcome to therapy! Our first session is focused on you and learning more about you and your needs. I will ask questions to make sure I get a clear understanding of you and you are welcome to ask your own questions as well. It can be hard to start therapy and starting with a support and caring can help.
I am a patient, supportive and tenaciously optimistic therapist who believes that people can heal, and grow. I have worked with clients with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma. Your story and experiences are important. My goal is to honor those and your growth process.

I have been trained in EMDR since 2007. EMDR has been shown to be an effective intervention for those who have experienced trauma and the challenging after effects, where we explore the impact of the experience, related beliefs that interfere and help build new beliefs that better support you.
I have used CBT since 2007 with clients. CBT is a well supported therapy method that challenges thoughts, behaviors and their connected beliefs that are barriers to growth. CBT can help clients build new patterns of behaviors, thoughts that are more positive focus and shift feelings.
I have been using Narrative Therapy since 2007 to help clients identify life-stories that no longer serve them and help build new ones that support growth and health. Narrative Therapy focuses on the language we use and its influence.
I have been using Strength Based Therapy since 2007. Strength based therapy seeks to highlight and build on your strengths, skills/capabilities and resources to work toward growth and empowerment.
I have been providing gender-affirming care since 2016. I seek to create a safe space for people to learn more about themselves and grow.
