I have 8 years of experience working with adults and teens. I specialize in counseling members of the LGBTQIA+ community, folks with trauma and I enjoy doing parts work/IFS. If you're experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, family struggles or a general feeling of being stuck; I can help you work towards meeting goals, relief from negative symptoms or unhelpful behaviors. I aim to create an environment of understanding and humor, in order to offer helpful tools and knowledge about how our brains and bodies work, so you can work them to your advantage. I hope we can work together to give you some relief!
I am trained in EMDR, which is a powerful treatment for the relief of traumas and past hurts, as well as parts work/IFS. I have also worked extensively with trans folks of all ages. As a cisgender white woman, I am aware of the privilege afforded to me in this culture, and believe my clients when they discuss their experiences of life.
I appreciate your time reading my profile, and understand the struggle of finding a counselor who feels right for you, so I offer a FREE 20-minute phone consultation to make sure I feel like a good fit for you.
