I have always had a passion for working with underserved populations and those in need. Most of my experience has been with providing therapy to children and adults who have experienced trauma, as well as those who have struggled with anxiety and addictions. I aim to create trusting and authentic partnerships between myself and clients on their journey to healing. I strive to utilize an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed approach to create a safe space for all clients to learn, grow, and embrace healthy connection, while acknowledging the impacts of environment and culture.

I am very passionate about working with young adults, children (5-10), teens (15-18), and families. I identify as gay and strive to work with the LGBTQ+ community. Through my educational training and application of theoretical counseling practices, I strive to help clients navigate their way through anxiety, depression, past/present trauma, and other struggles. I believe that each individual is the expert of their own life, but sometimes needs assistance in navigating life’s curveballs. I am fully affirming and strive to assist the LGBTQ+ Community in finding love and acceptance from others, but more importantly, for themselves.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults suffering from PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, and substance use. I've also worked with families and couples to improve relationships and communication. I believe the biggest factor to successful therapy is based on the relationship between the therapist and the client. I am able to use my own life experiences to help build this relationship and relate more naturally.

I am currently scheduling new clients for July. However, if your adolescent is in CRISIS, I will try to get them in sooner. I enjoy building trusting and therapeutic relationships with my clients. I am honored each time a person allows me to become a part of their life and the change process. I enjoy working with individuals and families of all different shapes and sizes.

My passions lie with individuals that suffer from PTSD and the effects of trauma. Once you identify the root cause of your symptoms, which can range from depression, panic and anxiety, nightmares or insomnia, even chronic health problems, you can truly begin to heal and grow. I tend to utilize a lot of CBT and DBT interventions and I do like to assign tasks for you to practice between sessions. Although these are serious issues, I believe in my heart that a sense of humor is absolutely vital to survival!

I have already counseled my ideal client. I worked with a client who came to me in her most significant time of need. She was ready to put in work and wanted to develop. She was diagnosed with Bipolar I and had several suicide attempts. She could externalize her mania and use fitness and wellness to push through her episodes. She is happy and healthy and uses her experiences to help others. My services involve psychotherapy using techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), with a trauma-informed framework.

My therapy space is designed to help clients explore, notice, and align with their needs and values, through further processing of internal and external experiences. The ideal client is on a journey to better understand self, others, and the world around them. Maybe they have some past trauma impacting functioning, or maybe the current season feels really hard and overwhelming. We offer deep curiosity about what healing looks like moving forward in life. They are open to feedback and willing to trust the process and work to further understand what resources and tools might be open to helping them cultivate the life they want.
