About My Clients

Adulting is hard. Stress sucks. Anxiety and Depression seem to be passengers in the trip through life. The plague, Covid, has made these even more amplified....and being asked to go back into the office?! Seriously?! Have you ever felt like an outsider? Like, there can be a group of people talking and you are not part of the conversation. Are you part of the Neurodiverse/neurospicy community? Do you align with the LGBTQIA? Do you ever go to parties and hang out with the Cat? Dog? Awesome!!

My Background and Approach

I actively employ various evidence-based therapeutic techniques, tailored to individual needs and goals. I prefer Solution Focused, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT. and Strength based counseling approaches

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone deserves to live a life just being who they are. Society can go kick rocks if they think they can dictate who we are, who we love, and what color fingernail polish I decide to wear in that moment. I love cats, coffee, crosswords. I fight openly and loud for those who are part of the Neurodiverse population and those who are part of the LGBTQIA population.
