About My Clients

I work well with people who are struggling with mental health concerns following traumatic experiences including narcissistic abuse, intergenerational trauma, sexual abuse and experiences related to their minority identity (gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, race, ethnicity, etc.). I am a good fit for people who have trouble identifying or communicating their needs, and struggle with a sense of chronic loneliness or depression. My style is also suited for folks who feel stuck in their life.

My Background and Approach

I believe in care that is evidence-based and that can help my clients reach their goals. I help people identify how their past experiences are influencing their present, and recognizing things that truly matter to them. I focus on helping a person use that insight into working towards healing from the past, and building towards a hopeful future. I see myself as someone who joins my clients on their life journey and serve their needs in their attempt to improve their lives. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and am a Certified Geek Therapist. I integrate other evidence based modalities such as ACT, RODBT, DBT, Existentialism and Feminist-Liberational Psychology and tailor my approach to fit with my clients' needs.
