Great to meet you!

For many years I have built rapport with and facilitated the progress of youth who are on the spectrum, who have attention disorders, who struggled with emotion regulation, who are mute, who are transgender, and have exhibited self-harming behaviors. Many of my adult clients have had issues with abandonment, attachment, trauma, and self-harm. The goals I have facilitated my clients progression in are myriad. However, one goal most of my clients aspire to attain is self-love.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have worked with youth, families, and adults of various ages. My clients have seen me in their homes, in the community, as well as in school settings. Aside from the evidence - based methodologies, I refer to and implement use of in my practice, I have found that active listening and welcoming energy facilitate rapport building and goal attainment.

What you can expect from our first session

My approach has always been and will continue to be empathetic and non-judgmental. The energy I exude with all my clients stems from love and hope. Love is the light in me acknowledging and appreciating the light in you. Hope is the admiration I have for you as you briefly allow me to take part in your metamorphosis on this therapeutic and healing journey.
