Hello, I am a therapist who will meet you where ever you are mentally/emotionally and is ready to work with you to help you meet your goals. I specialize in trauma, addictions and those struggling with unhealthy thoughts/emotional cycles. Most of my career I have worked with those who have been through sexual, emotional, physical and spiritual abuse, domestic violence, toxic relationships and toxic family situations. I have also always worked with those struggling with addictions- both substance and behavioral in nature. I address both of these sets of issues by giving you space to acknowledge and process your emotions while also helping you to reframe unhealthy thought processes that may be present due to the difficult things you have been through. My secondary areas of focus include those struggling with depression, anxiety, mood issues, other unhealthy behaviors, general life stress and relationship issues and major life changes. I also have a fair amount of experience working with people who struggle with eating disorders, those a part of the LGBTQIA community and those who struggle with personality disorders (specifically borderline personality disorder).

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session I tend to focus on building the therapeutic relationship with you and learning more about your story. I work at your pace so there is no pressure to rush.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I feel I have an excellent ability to create a supportive environment that also encourages you to "work" on the things you struggle with. I always put the therapeutic relationship first as that is the basis of you being able to get you where you want to be.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Those who are ready for change- I tend to be direct but highly supportive so a client who is looking for the truth with limited fluff would be a good match.
