Great to meet you!

I show up 100% authentic to who I am with the hopes that that give you permission to show up 100% authentic to who I am.

I like to call myself "the Harriet Tubman of Mental Health." My goal is to help you get from point A to point B in your life. In treatment here's what you can expect:

  • We will get into the past, but, just enough to help you understand why you are the way you are.
  • We will honor our past selves for protecting us and keeping us safe.
  • We will correct our behavior to make sure we don't repeat the same patterns.
  • We will make plans for a healthier life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, inquisitive, and affirming.

What you can expect from me

You can expect for me to cuss and for my face to say something before my mouth says it.
