Everyone deserves to feel wanted, loved, and feel like they belong. Everyone deserves to have the opportunity to heal and become the best versions of themselves.

Life transitions (personal and occupational) often result in challenges. Many of us become sad with grief and loss or face new challenges creating stress and anxiety.

With my skills, and experience I partner with clients to facilitate their goal- whether that may be symptom relief, behavioral changes, problem resolution or personal insight and understanding.

I utilize my emotional intelligence and intuitiveness to join the journey of others and increase their fortitude to navigate through difficult challenges together.

We are entitled to enjoy the abundance of life and that is unlimited and determined by our terms. It is our choices that directs our path to an unapologetic abundant life.

I am a practical, interactive therapist. My treatment approach incorporates insight, humor, and compassion for clients as they work to uncover and utilize their own unique resources, strengths, and abilities.

I encourage clients to think about successes in their lives, no matter how seemingly "small." I believe that acknowledging every success facilitates belief in the possibility of enacting change.

As an neurodivergent non-binary provider, I specialize in eating disorder and those who soothe with substances. My approach is to guide my clients in their recovery through empowerment and liberation mental health. This means that while working toward goals related to recovery, we also do work towards reclaiming the neurodivergent and/or trans gender identity.

The first question that a therapist usually asks is "What brings you in today?" This question in itself can be a point of tension. Maybe you don't know where to start, what to say, or what exactly brought you in today. I get it! I think when a person comes to someone else for guidance, that in itself is a very courageous act. Working with clients, I hope to help them better understand what their relationship to the problem is and how we can look at it from a more compassionate, flexible, and accurate vantage point. Co-collaborating with a client in an effort to encourage them to seek answers is one of my main roles as a helper.
