I have been in the field for the past 12 years and have had the privilege of working with many different communities. I have extensive experience with trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, identity development (sexual and gender), relationship issues, domestic violence, self harm and suicidal ideation. I have worked on a college campus and am well versed with ADHD, Autism and academic issues as well. I have loved my work with the LGBTQ community and have supported many through their transition. I have been honored to work with survivors of assault and sexual trauma. This work also extends to religious trauma and abuse (physical, emotional). I feel small changes can make a significant impact and am excited to help people navigate these changes. I am straightforward and direct with my clients and love to work with those motivated to improve their lives. I know it is not easy to reach out for help and I appreciate that clients allow me the opportunity to help.
We will get to know each other and identify your needs and goals for therapy. I do assign a small bit of homework at the first session.
I feel most clients do well in therapy when there is a trusting relationship with the therapist. I work hard to connect with my clients and establish a safe space for clients to share freely. My role is to help and I take that very seriously.
