I've been serving communities for many years in various positions, and I have found that my ideal client is the one that is ready to work, even if they are not sure what needs to be done or even why. This client is open to collaborating with me in figuring out what about their right now is no longer working for them. Basically, my ideal client is the one that says "I want help for something different" & chooses me to be that helper!
I have specialized in trauma-informed therapeutic services from ages 6yrs and older. I have done extensive work with families, and deeply enjoy working with Transitional Age Youth (TAY).
It's hard to reach out for help, so I want to help make this process easier for you. Feel free to reach out to schedule your first appointment!

Therapy is about seeking relief, which is what the goal of our time together will be. We will collaborate to identify the steps towards that relief and spend time processing to identify what has worked in the past & what may no longer be serving you in moving forward. It will be uncomfortable at times. I have always seen it as the irritation of growth, which we both want. Become your best self!

I lean heavily into a Solution Focused Therapy framework for my work in general. That means I will always keep in mind your end goal of being better overall while utilizing therapeutic tools from various types of therapy based on your personality. I found that many benefit from CBT, Narrative, Mindfulness, Person-centered, Expressive Art techniques at various point in our work together.
