My counseling specialties include sport and performance enhancement, treatment-resistant trauma, sexual abuse, chronic illness, relationship issues, identity discovery and self-exploration, environmental stress, prison reentry, and first responders. I often joke that I’m not the "ABCDEFG…" type of therapist, as I believe in using an eclectic and experiential approach. I draw from various theories, including Gestalt and Internal Family Systems, integrating them into experiential approaches such as Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Equine Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy .

I am passionate about helping clients overcome eating and body image issues, sexuality concerns, relational issues, and childhood or religious trauma. I believe we all have intuition and values that can guide us, but that external pressures, social norms, lack of confidence, and trauma often disconnect us from our true selves.

I am a compassionate and empathetic person, and my goal as your therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental setting while you embark on your gender journey. My therapeutic approaches include motivational interviewing, EMDR, solution-focused interventions, and person-centered engagement.

I do well with individuals who are wanting more freedom and satisfaction in their lives. I know that most people do not know what to do or what is causing the pain in their lives. People need someone they feel comfortable with to assist them in identifying what is the cause of their suffering. I know how confusing and hopeless it can be to try to figure out what is wrong and how to "fix it". I provide a safe, comfortable environment where individuals can learn the skills necessary to transform patterns of confusion and suffering to peace and contentment.

My view on therapy is very simple, though not always easy: 'through relationships, we heal’. Many of the barriers that inhibit healthy relationships include negative self-talk, fear of judgement, and our need to maintain a sense of control, especially when we are deeply hurt or wounded. Trauma does not discriminate and it does not wait for an opportune time to present, but we can make sense of it and heal old wounds that hold us back from really connecting with those we love.
