I have trainings in trauma-focused therapies and can hold space even for the most sensitive and personal experiences people have lived. Having worked with survivors of sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and commercially sexually exploited children, I've learned to have real, down to earth, no taboo conversations in a kind, open-minded sensitive way. I am also a Faculty Therapist at a local public university providing individual therapy to undergraduate and graduate students.
