About My Clients

Looking to serve folks who are curious, open to exploring, and are not afraid to be challenged. I'm looking for clients who are not afraid of a little hardwork. My expertise is in complex trauma, but I have worked with a variety of people.

My Background and Approach

I am trained in CBT, DBT, CPT, and the ISSTD model for the treatment of complex trauma and dissociation. I have experiencing working with people who suffer from complex trauma and dissociation. I also have extensive experience working with people who suffer from depression, anxiety, OCD, maternal mental health and those under the neurodivergent/queer umbrella. I like to tailor my approach to the individual, and will often utilize different modalities at the same time to help my clients.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Growth cannot occur if we are unable to be flexible and open to new ideas. I'm direct and like to push people to expand their way of thinking. I believe people can change, and while the journey to change can be quite difficult, I will be right by your side to help you naviage it. I like to add that I am aware that there are certain enviroments that makes growth extremely challenging. For many years, I worked in the non for profit sector. Working for populations who are at most risk has helped me become more sensitve and savy to treating people who often are unable to access the best care. Sometimes the best treatment is just helping you find safe and secure housing. If you feel like you want to talk , please send me a message.
