I am so pleased that you found your way to my front door. Please know that you have found a place of kindness and gratitude as you embark on a new journey of healing and restoration. The journey may not always be easy, but together there is peace and joy in the destination’s end. As a licensed mental health and licensed addiction therapist, I am trained and utilize two primary therapeutic techniques RRT (rapid resolutions therapy) and EMDR.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with professional experience working with a variety of individuals and families. I have several previous years of experience working within the realms of the child welfare and probation systems, and much of my more recent private practice work has been focused on individuals struggling with eating disorders and addiction. I also have a great deal of experience conducting emergency psychiatric assessments and helping those undergoing a mental health crisis. I offer clients warmth, empathy, a safe environment without judgement, and I'm ready to meet them wherever they're at emotionally.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck concerning their relationships, emotions, work, finances, health, or purpose. They are looking for an identity outside of parent or worker. They are feeling depressed and hopeless lately. They are the type that is generally anxious, worried, or on edge. Their goal may be to change their life, but they are not sure how. They may have tried a ton of different self-help, spiritual, or healing modalities on their own but had moments where they have started to think it's never going to happen for them. They need to break free of nonproductive cycles and poor choices to change their lives.

I work with Individuals, Groups, and Families. I have been practicing since 2002 with and LCSW and LCAC.

My ideal client would be vulnerable yet aware in the beginning. They would be open to learning about therapy options. They would also have many questions, including sharing their fears regarding therapy. My ideal client would also be prepared to complete homework assignments and truly engage in each session. During the therapeutic sessions, I would learn what each emotion looks like for my client and how it impacts their lives. My ideal client's growth is evident in each session that they participate in, and they never give up on them.

As your therapist, we will process anxiety, depression, past traumas, reroute negative behaviors, & learn how lived experiences impact the way you view the world currently. My clients often seek therapy because they are wanting to uncover the meanings behind their emotions; together, we are often able to uncover the meaning behind these emotions by better understanding past traumas encountered. Only then, can we replace negative behaviors that have stemmed from these traumas, together. I provide a safe & genuine space for LGBTQ clients & practice from an inclusive & client-centered perspective.

I believe providing clinical services is a privilege, and partner with you to strategize achieving your goals and empower you towards living out your authentic life. Mental Health care is the exercise of mental wellness just as we exercise our body. A safe trusting relationship with your therapist is the foundation of care, and I promise to never ask you to do something I wouldn't ask of myself. Some therapists are 'gay friendly', at my practice we are "family".

As a Licensed Social Worker, my goal is to create a safe, judgment free space as we work together to overcome struggles that have encouraged you to seek therapeutic treatment.

It's uncomfortable to reach out for help, to reveal our pain and personal matters to anyone, let alone a stranger. This is why my priority is creating a safe, judgment free space to build a genuine connection with my clients. In addition to developing strategies to relieve immediate distress, I apply my 15 years in mental health, from home-based to hospital crisis work, to help you identify the reasons behind your struggles and resolve the underlying causes. This provides the framework for positive growth and a deeper understanding of oneself, for lasting results.

You need a safe space to truly express yourself and work through tough emotions. Things like trauma and anxiety disrupt the nervous system, and it takes a special skill set to find your center in times of stress. I am a therapist that helps people tackle feelings of shame that often stem from dysfunctional family dynamics. If you're struggling with setting boundaries, finding balance, or navigating your mental health in general, I am here to help you work through it.
