Great to meet you!

I work to bring a variety of treatment methods to therapy. I have worked in substance use treatment facilities, both in corrections and community based. I have also worked as a therapist in community mental health facilities and with homeless populations with a focus in clinical mental health.

I consistently work to expand my understanding of mental health treatment as I develop my specialty in trauma informed care and substance use treatment. This has worked to expand my ability in helping people from all walks of life as everyone is impacted by their own experiences. Adding to specialized treatment; I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

My approach to therapy

My focus with clients is to build a safe and trusting dynamic in order to explore issues that negatively impact life's experiences. I work to ensure all life dimensions become balanced to ensure safety in exploring the past. By maintaining current stress it opens opportunity to heal in the present from past influences.

What you can expect from me

My goal each session is that a client feels they have been heard without judgement. We will work to build goals that fit plans for growth.
