As a therapist and social worker with five years of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals impacted by trauma, addiction, and complex mental health issues. My diverse background includes working in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric units, and mobile crisis intervention settings. Through compassionate and evidence-based approaches, I am dedicated to helping clients navigate their challenges and foster healing and growth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we have the opportunity to get to know each other. We'll focus on building a strong rapport and establishing a sense of trust. I'll listen attentively to understand your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals for our work together. Together, we'll explore your concerns, strengths, and areas for growth. Additionally, we'll discuss any questions or expectations you have about the therapeutic process. By the end of the session, we'll begin to create a collaborative game plan for how to proceed in therapy, tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to hold space for others with empathy and compassion. I am dedicated to creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and respected. My expertise in childhood trauma allows me to offer valuable insights and interventions to help clients understand and heal from their past experiences. Additionally, I am committed to being a strong advocate for my clients, empowering them to voice their needs and navigate challenges effectively. Through collaboration and mutual trust, I strive to support clients on their journey towards healing and personal growth.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are motivated and ready to actively engage in the process of change. I have a strong passion for working with individuals in recovery from various challenges, including addiction and trauma, as well as those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. My commitment to providing affirming and supportive care enables me to create a safe space where clients can explore their identities, overcome obstacles, and achieve their therapeutic goals with empowerment and resilience.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Gestalt
Gestalt therapy is a form of psychotherapy that emphasizes personal responsibility, self-awareness, and the present moment experience. Developed by Fritz Perls, Gestalt therapy focuses on helping individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to achieve greater self-understanding and emotional integration. Through a Gestalt approach, I aim to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, sensations, and behaviors in order to develop relief in the present moment.
Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to assist individuals who have experienced trauma. It integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-specific interventions to address the psychological effects of trauma. Along with a CPTSD informed therapeutic approach, I am to use cognitive and behavioral approaches in order to resolve and integrate unresolved trauma.
Grief Therapy
Often, we discuss the stages of grief, yet there's limited conversation about the actual experience of grieving and its intricate process. Grief encompasses more than just the loss of a person; it involves losing facets of ourselves, our childhoods, and fragments of relationships. Through grief work, my goal is to help clients explore the nature of their losses and navigate their journey through grief.
