My Ideal Client

I love working alongside clients who feel stuck and helping them move forward. Sometimes we feel lost with navigating a life transition like exiting or entering college, leaving a relationship or moving to a different city. I work frequently with trauma and dissociation and people that past events are preventing them from moving forward today. I am passionate with working with neurodivergent clients and the LGBTQ+ community. I also have a lot of experience working with depression and anxiety.

My Approach to Helping

My approach has been described as gentle, compassionate, supportive while staying focused on your goals. I use a person-centered approach taking into account a client’s cultural background and oppression they may experience from society. I am EMDRIA certified in EMDR therapy and trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that choice and going at your own pace are essential in therapy to build trust. I have tools and skills to support you, but you are the expert on your lived experience. I believe in giving back and being connected to community and volunteer at a houseless resource center to support our neighbors. I also enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my dog and cat in my free time.
