About My Clients

My ideal client is one who is ready to take their mental health into their own hands. I get along with almost everyone! I welcome each and everyone who would like to begin their journey in therapy, those who are neurodivergent, part of the LGBTQIA community, minority communities, and those who are wary of therapy but would like to try it anyway. Welcome!

My Background and Approach

I use CBT but I’ve been known to use principles of DBT as well. I have treated clients with ADHD , Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar disorder and many more. This variety has taught me that my clients deserve diversity of thought and to be treated as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms. I am a Licensed Clinicial Social worker with a background in social services work, forensic interviewing and work with survivors of abuse, as well as school based and outpatient therapy. I've worked in psychiatric facilities as well and my approach is tailored to the individual no matter the setting.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that love is love, that Black and Trans lives matter and that it does get better. I know it is hard for those of us who live in rural areas to find behavioral health support that is truly interested in support instead of judgement and I stand in solidarity with anyone who needs it. I believe in God but I do not judge those who do not.
