Hello! Welcome, congratulation on taking your first step to healing. I'm excited to walk with you and learning what makes you the unique, and complicated person you are. How can I help you meet your goals? Let's learn together and sort through the messiness. I am down to Earth, humanistic therapist. Meaning, I know the human existence is complicated and has a lot of layers. I show up as my authentic self and hope that my clients feel comfortable to do the same.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
First sessions are always the hardest. My clients can expect to come into a safe and supportive environment. A place where they feel comfortable and confident to be themselves. First session- is the vibe check. Are we a good fit? Do we mesh well? These are questions that my clients can answer by the end of our first session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths as a therapist are that I'm not afraid to be myself and I'm not afraid to make mistakes. With me we will laugh and talk through whatever happens in or out of session. I take what I need to seriously and the rest we can take lightly. I'm great at meeting my clients where they're at and will always empower my clients to take control of what they can in their lives. I'm here to walk with you and guide you through the messiness that is life.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Clients that work with have typically had not so great experiences in therapy before, or maybe are brand new to therapy. My clients are people that are working through the experience of grief, anxiety, depression or even just needing a sounding board. My clients are people who want to learn and are curious about the things that make them tick; if that's not you- trust me we will get there together!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is focused on challenging and reframing thoughts that you have about yourself. I use this type of intervention to help my clients build self esteem and learn more about themselves.
Grief Therapy
Grief is tricky and I know that it is a complicated experience to go through. I practice validation and normalizing all of the emotions that come up when grieving.
Trauma Informed Care
I understand that trauma is out of our control and takes the power away from us making it hard to express yourself or communicate what you are needing. I let me clients always take the driver seat in sessions and control the pace or content we cover.
Gender-affirming therapy
Come as who you are, I will accept and honor your experience and the challenges/success that have come along.
Motivational Interviewing
It's easy to focus on all the things that need to be "fixed" in therapy, but I think it's important to remember where you have succeeded and where you have improved too; so you can remember that you can do hard things.
