Let's Connect (224) 313-0312
I am passionate about working with clients across the age spectrum who are struggling with the effects of trauma, emotional dysregulation, substance use disorders, ADHD, and relational challenges. I also have life experience coping with chronic illness and being a member of the LGBTQ+ community and would love to work with these populations, specifically with youth/ young adults experiencing related challenges.
I see my role as someone who accompanies and assists others in their healing journey through psychotherapeutic interventions. I have a particular interest in understanding the neurobiology of trauma and will utilize this knowledge to help foster feelings of safety and collaboration in the therapeutic environment.
If you are looking for a trauma-informed, neurodivergent/ LGBTQ+ affirming therapist to help you reach your mental health goals, I would love to help accompany you in this journey!
