I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor helping adults with issues like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, disordered eating, relationship issues, chronic illness, gender identity, grief, burnout, and life transitions. I've worked in inpatient psychiatric and eating disorder treatment, intensive outpatient substance addiction treatment, outpatient treatment, residential treatment, public school, and jail. I hold additional clinical licenses as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Creative Arts Therapist.
I'm a relational therapist specializing in integrative psychotherapy using talk therapy, somatics, and expressive arts. Sessions might include talking along with things like mindfulness, breathing techniques, writing, drawing, or movement. These ways of working promote stress reduction, insight, and lasting change.
I know it's hard to start therapy and I also know it's worth it. Congratulations on your courage in taking this initial step. If you want to talk about working together, please reach out. Let's connect for a free introduction call. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
