Learn more about me and why i do this

---

I believe that my clients are the experts on their life because they live it everyday. I am here to learn to understand you from your world and experiences. 

While I bring a great deal of education and knowledge to the therapy setting I also feel this should be a space where you can feel safe and be yourself. 

I will create space for you to speak freely without judgement, offer challenges to your perspectives and engage with you throughout the session. I will encourage you to engage in deep reflection, and provide you with homework to continue growing outside of therapy. 

I have a strong passion for helping others and couldn't have found a better job for me. Growing up I watched people I love struggle with mental health and it became a passion of mine to become a support and advocate for others. 

I love that therapy gives people the space to unmask, unpack, and show genuine and difficult parts of themselves they have hidden. I have so much respect for my clients and so much hope for their futures. 

I have been working in the mental health industry for over 10 years. Throughout my journey I have always found myself drawn to and working with individuals who suffer from complex trauma, anxiety and those who are  LGBTQ+. I have experience working with adults, couples, and kids. 

I have work a great deal with sexual assault survivors and complex childhood trauma, I have addressed Generalized Anxiety and OCD including many of its subtypes.  I have supported individuals in exploring their gender  identity and sexual orientation.  I have helped couples to improve communication, understand one another emotionally, to better resolve conflict and connect.
