About My Clients

I provide Counseling services for folks across the life span in multiple capacities and layers. I work with littles starting at 6yrs-old, tweens, teens & adulthood in many ages and stages. Areas of focus: Creatives, Service Industry Folks, The 3 A's=Anxiety, Addiction, & Anger

My Background and Approach

My approach is down to earth and humanistic with a good sense of humor so together we can build a strong working therapeutic relationship. We can tackle unhelpful thinking patterns, establish healthy risk taking, strengthen connections with self & others, and ultimately rediscover self through learning new things.  Concepts such as the importance of belonging, understanding the influence between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to make shifts in how life is approached, and gaining more awareness of overall life patterns is my foundational approach to structuring treatment. Neuroscience to gather information and provide understanding, and Sensorimotor approaches to strengthen attunement and navigate an intuitive self lens. And within these approaches I use art, sand tray, play, and talk to navigate the course of therapy. 

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a former restaurant employee I value the importance of families having access to food as a staple and basic need that not only provides necessary nurishment, but also unites people in the home. Volunteering at a neighborhood food pantry gives me the opportunity to play a small part in people's lives within the community.
