A client calling to make an appointment is admirable. That client is making the step to reach out and get the help that they need. The world can be a tough place and navigating the world can be a challenge. It can also be difficult figuring out yourself and what you are to this world. I want to work with a client with that navigation and teach skills that can help that client be able to cope.

Often when we struggle, we are having a normal reaction to abnormal circumstances. The world we live in can feel unsupportive of just how hard it is to be a human. I feel it is a privilege to help my clients realize their innate wholeness and courage and I approach the therapy relationship with a genuine, compassionate, and non-judgmental style. I work best with clients who are struggling with the impact of trauma, emotion dysregulation, dissociation, self injury, depression, anxiety, and issues specific to the LGBTQIA+ population.
