Great to meet you!

I have had personal experience with having to "start over", betrayal trauma, grief and chronic conditions. I approach counseling with some seriousness but always with a sense of humor. Therapy sessions do not always need to be filled with tears in order to be productive. I love animals and I bring my cat Gatsby to sessions at times.

My approach to therapy

I am a direct therapist. I will challenge clients but not push beyond their capabilities

What you can expect from me

Empathy, understanding, a listening ear and a safe space
