My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I specialize in working with adult & adolescent individuals ages 16 and up. My ideal clients are those that have had difficult experiences in their past that may be getting in the way of their relationships or well-being in the present. I enjoy working with those that may have been labeled sensitive or high achieving adults. I provide a safe place to help individuals get “unstuck” while gently leaning into the pain so that YOU can start living the life that YOU want. I have many tools to help you get “unstuck”. I have experience and interest in working with individuals that meet the criteria for bipolar disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders and post-traumatic stress disorders. Although I recognize the value of diagnoses, I believe that an individual’s humanity comes first and foremost. People are more than just a label or a diagnosis. I am honored to serve the substance abuse population as well as LGBTQ population
