Some of my specialty areas are Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Self-esteem, OCD, Domestic Violence, and Child Emotional Neglect. Are you struggling with self-esteem, self-trust, shame, and guilt, which is why change does not occur? I provide psychoeducation to all clients to help them recognize why change is so difficult and understand how the mind works. An ideal client takes notes and follows through on exercises throughout the week. There are 160 hours in a week, and as a therapist, I only see you 1 hour a week, which means work outside of a therapy session is key to making positive changes in your life.

Above all, I approach treatment through a trauma focused lens and respect for others without judgment.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist who is also a member of the LGBTQI community and a strong advocate for Human Rights as well as the concerns related to the LGBTQI community. I believe that when individuals feel unbalanced they experience more struggles in their lives. The mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects must all be given attention so that balance in all facets of a person's life can be more easily obtained. The process of therapy is meant to help guide and encourage the client to address current and past issues that may be causing an individual to struggle to gain personal balance and happiness.

My specialty training is Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), however I draw from many theories and models to apply to the unique individual and situation.
Please email me if you would like to be placed on the waiting list. My goal with each client is to help them recognize their strengths - to use what they learn about themselves in therapy and move on to the next phase in their life. The greatest joy I have is seeing the individuals blossom and tell me they are ready to face their challenges on their own! I am a secular individual, however I have great respect for the differences we each have and will not condemn or judge a person based on their affiliation.

Dealing with the aftermath of trauma and the struggles of mental health can feel heavy. It may feel as though you are completely alone in dealing with the difficulties in your life, but it does not have to feel this way. I work with teenagers and adults who all too often feel alone and hopeless and may have adopted unhealthy ways of coping through substance use or other self-destructive behaviors as a result. I use a strengths-based, person centered, humanistic approach and have been trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Taking the first step to address your trauma and mental health is scary, but I can help.

The ideal client is anyone brave enough to put themselves first and ask for help. The ideal client is receptive to the therapeutic process and is direct, open, and vulnerable. They also understand that the therapeutic process takes time, and one does not get there overnight. The ideal client is patient with themselves and can give themselves grace and permission to grow. The client will have the goal of personal self-development and is ready to do the work. The ideal client does not expect me to "fix" them but understands that a clinician is a form of support on their journey and that we will accomplish any goals together.
