About My Clients

I enjoy working with a variety of life's concerns including depression and anxiety, chronic pain, cancer diagnosis, PTSD concerns and working with couples across all sexual orientations as well as families who are having difficulties. I am known to create a warm and friendly space where you can feel safe and trusted to discuss hardships in an effort to become a stronger version of the person you want to be.

My Background and Approach

Prior to becoming a therapist I had 15 years in the Autism field. While Autism is still something I am passionate about, I am more focused on helping those who are going through difficulties no matter the situation. It's about peeling back the layers and finding "self" again. I believe all people have the answers within themselves, but I'm here to help you navigate the way to find them and will work closely with the goals you set for yourself in your healing journey.
