About My Clients

Some of the areas that I specialize in are: trauma work with abuse survivors (sexual, physical, emotional, or psychological), motivation and college life transitions, independence for young adults, acute grief/complex and prolonged grief, professional workplace stress, LGBTQAI+ acceptance and authenticity, ADHD and neurodivergent issues with current diagnosis, ASD adults with current diagnosis.

My Background and Approach

I approach therapy from a Humanistic and Solution Focused perspective, believing the client is the expert on their life. I am here to walk the journey with you, wherever that may lead. This also means that I will not make decisions for you, but with you. I also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Harm Reduction, and Family Systems.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Welcome, it is great to meet you! I believe that each person views life from their own story, and our narrative is unique and important. I am open to the variety of life and the challenges that life presents. In addition, I also believe that we can overcome trauma, past struggles, and relational disconnections. We can find a way to cope and thrive, but sometimes this means looking at reality and choosing success, which takes work and internal reflection.
