Prior to entering private practice, I worked for over 20 years in outpatient and inpatient mental health settings providing therapy to a diverse population. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, and often work with clients on exploring their identity. In particular, working with clients who have experienced trauma, including sexual abuse, and how this intersects with the way they see themselves, and their overall sense of self-worth. I also have over 15 years experience working with those suffering from depression, anxiety and severe mental illness.
I believe it is important to always take an individualized approach to therapy based on the needs of each of client. I like to take an active approach using evidence-based therapeutic models. I integrate both psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy helping to equip you with the insight and skills you need to face life's challeng
My clients always feel welcomed, safe and valued as we work together. My goal is that you leave sessions with hope and acceptance, coupled with inspiration and energy heading you in the direction of your intentions and desires to live your best life.
