Great to meet you!

I am a licensed therapist with a passion for making therapy accessible for everyone. I have over a decade of working with diverse persons and populations.

My approach to therapy

I primarly use Cognitve Behavioral therapy combined with interpersonal theory. I specialize in trauma, mood disorders and human sexuality. I know initaiting therapy with a new provider can be scary, and digging into deep issues is not easy. I often use humor in my sessions when appropriate. The greatest compliment I receive when client's overcome their challenges and meet their goals is that they never felt judged by me.

What you can expect from me

The first appointment can often be anxiety producing. I will work hard to allieviate the anxiety by providing assistance in identifying goals, assessing your strengths, and discussing any of your concerns.
