About My Clients
Do you feel stuck? Disconnected from yourself and everyone around you? Hiding from everything because it feels too exhausting to do anything more than basic functioning? Are you taking care of everyone else and neglecting yourself? Do you worry about EVERYTHING and question every choice you make or thought you have? Do you feel overwhelmed, wondering if you’re good enough, or if you’ll finally be seen and accepted for who you are? I see you. You are not alone.
My Background and Approach
The work I do with clients is centered on providing first and foremost, a safe space to be seen and heard. I then provide life tools, education, and promote enhancing qualities that bring meaning and value into my clients’ lives. I have worked with a wide-range of individuals ranging from crisis intervention and stabilization to professional development. In addition to crisis management, my specialty areas are anxiety, depression, navigating life changes, caregiver burnout, trauma, peri- and postpartum depression, dementia and severe mental illness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In order to love others for who they are, you must first love yourself for who you are. I believe we spend so much time focused on what we aren’t, that we lose sight of all of the wonderful things that make us uniquely us. Values, beliefs, sexuality, gender identity, born gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, culture, and experiences shape how we see and feel about ourselves positively and negatively often because of what a majority society, culture or family says is good or valued. Mental and physical health are interwoven with sexual and spiritual health. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to look at everything we know and believe to explore and sometimes challenge whether or not it supports what we need for our mental, physical, social, sexual and spiritual well-being. Lastly, I believe everyone should have access to quality mental (and physical) healthcare and offer a sliding scale rate for individuals ready to start working on their mental health.
