Great to meet you!

Hi and welcome!

This is my 12th year as a licensed therapist. I have worked with a wide variety of clients of all life stages and concerns. I have specific training in attachment, child development, addiction/chemical dependency, LGBTQ+ support, sexual trauma, domestic violence, and most major mental illnesses.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I want therapy to be useful to you. I provide an empathetic, understanding, hopeful, and non-judgmental atmosphere. Your comfort level and trust are important as we face your challenges together. I believe in meeting you where you are at and supporting you in your journey. I am supportive of your cultural/religious/spiritual background and beliefs.

What you can expect from our first session

We will work together to problem-solve solutions for your concerns. I am also here to just listen and be there for you.
