Aaron was my clinical supervisor and I so enjoyed our 2 years together. He was so supportive and willing to meet me where I was at, which included me being tired of being inside and sitting all day, so most of our meetings were outdoor walks. I loved it!

I use EMDR, CBT, Trauma-informed and Person Centered Therapies. Basically, I'm all mixed up! Mostly, I am myself & encourage you to be you. I like to laugh & have fun in session. I aim to bring lightness to our time together when possible. I also believe in the power of movement, sleep & being outdoors. If I ever prescribe homework, it will be simple! You can do it.
