I understand that there is not one particular mold or pattern that fits every issue or concern, one life does not fit all. I make every attempt to ensure that you are in a comfortable environment free from conviction. I feel that you should be able to come to a safe place to explore every thought that one feels is necessary to assist with resolving issues. You should also not feel judged or condemned for thoughts or actions that have been socially deemed as wrong. What really matters is that you have taken the initiative to receive help sorting what could not be resolved on your own.

As a counselor who values empowerment, trauma-informed healing, and overall mental wellness, I find that working with clients who have experienced sexual trauma, abuse, and post-partum depression can feel transformational. Most of my training and focus is with trauma informed care, especially when working with those who identify with victimization and/or survivorship. I truly believe that I learn something new about the world and myself with every human that I work with. I hope to learn from you and honorably witness your healing experience through therapy.
