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.

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

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.

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

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.
