About My Clients

My approach to the therapeutic relationship is collaborative. The client is the expert of themselves and my role is to provide the knowledge and skills I have attained. I am trained in EMDR and Attachment-Focused-EMDR disciplines in treating trauma-related issues by assisting individuals to overcome distress, trauma, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms. I'm also trained in Biofeedback, Ego State/Dissociation (Parts Work), the Flash Technique, and Intergenerational Trauma to help clients discover relief.

My Background and Approach

Serving in the army for 10 years, I have worked with many different cultural backgrounds, as well as those with differing spiritual beliefs. Since attaining my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I have pursued many therapeutic techniques to help my clients. My clinical interests include treating trauma, neuroaffirming as well as providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative psychotherapy to sexual minorities. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression or past experiences are negatively affecting.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In my practice, I celebrate neruodiversity and provide neuroaffirming care. I do not pathologize brains that present within the neurodiverse umbrella (ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, ect.). My goal is to provide a safe space for folks to explore and work on their concerns and not feel othered. We all deserve to be seen.
