About
Developing and growing through therapy can be a difficult process. It requires bravery and tenacity to reach one’s goals. My objective in client care is to make the process as painless as possible with active listening, developed empathy, and mindfulness in and outside of each session.
I specialize in the symptomology management of anxiety, depression, trauma, paraphilics, sexual dysfunction, women’s issues, LGBTQ+ issues, socio-economic issues, cognitive/physical disabilities, schizophrenia, autism, substance abuse disorder, legal issues/justice system trauma, domestic violence, postpartum depression, grief and loss, and career coaching/development issues. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to accomplish their goals.
I enjoy working with adults, older adults, and disabled adults. I take a client-centered, humanistic approach to my practice, meaning YOU will be the guide. I will meet you where you are and we’ll go on this journey at your pace. I will consistently ask how the process is feeling for you and if you need any adjustments to your care; all feedback is valuable and necessary.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, video games, creating art and writing, concerts, and being a loving mama to my pets. I believe the place I’ve for myself in this world reflect in my work – I believe self-compassion, patience with oneself, and nourishing one’s inner child are integral to positive and healthy change.
I can’t wait to meet you!
