All who walk the journey of life come to hurdles, challenges, and moments of joy. It can become overwhelming when the hurdles and challenges appear to outweigh the moments of joy. Through working together, we can tackle the challenges of the past by allowing space to process what has occurred, learn from the past ,and move forward with increased awareness of the present moment.
I have been in the field since 2017, obtaining my masters of social work in 2021. I specifically work with adult populations focusing on: the LGBTQIA+ community, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adoption, suicidal ideation, childhood trauma, C-PTSD, PTSD, parenting skills, co-parenting, and divorce.
My approach is each person has a unique life journey they have lived, meaning each life event will have a different impact and affect. As an adoptee and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand the importance of having a trauma informed therapist. I encourage you to take this next step of healing by beginning or continuing your therapy journey.

The journey of life is similar to going on a scuba diving expedition. When there is a storm the water is choppy/murky making it difficult for us to see our goals and obtain them. Once the water has calmed, we are able to explore all that is within the coral reef, processing what we find . Let's work together to calm the water, then begin exploring the reef.

In your first few sessions, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I focus on working on the root problems that are leading to daily disruptions. The main ways we will accomplish this is through Brainspotting, ACT, and Mindfulness. Your body holds the answers you are seeking, together we will unlock your potential.
