My Ideal Client

I work with all clients, but specifically love working with people deconstructing from high-control religious backgrounds as well as folks in the LGBTQIA+ community. I connect my clients’ current experiences with patterns they formed in the past, so my ideal client-counselor match is with people who want to understand their history as they make changes in their present.

My Approach to Helping

My sessions are a soft place to land for people who need a sanctuary or who are brand new to receiving mental health care. My goal is to ensure my clients will feel there is someone who will always be on their team. Together, you and I will work on tracing where your mental survival skills originated and create new, useful, sustainable patterns of thinking. When you know yourself, you can repair and strengthen your relationship to self and to others. You’ve got this! I am rooting for you. I enjoy using a combination of parts work, humanistic, somatics, and Restoration Therapy. I’m here to offer access to tools for better mental health and show you how to use them. You’re the one who decides what your world will look like after.

Why I Became a Therapist

There were many passions I invested in as a young adult: animal rescues, sex worker resource support, captive primatology, theological interventions, teaching high risk youth. With each study, I honed my skills and strengths. When I landed with counseling, it felt like the question I had been asking of, "How do I leave the world better than I found it?” was answered. Everything aligned. My clients who learn to heal and increase positive interactions in their lives end up making the world a better place for themselves and the people around them.
