Are you feeling stuck and wanting to make a change? Reaching out for help is a brave and necessary first step in a healing journey. Together we can put pieces of the puzzle together, develop skills, and find healing. I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.
I view all human behavior as attempts to get needs met, and most of those needs go back to feeling safe. When I work with clients we spend time exploring life patterns and where they may have started. Together we can build skills and awareness to help you navigate the past, present, and future.
I have experience working in settings that include a college campus, private practice, and men’s addiction facility. My special interests are working with LGBTQIA2+ and BIPOC clients, men, couples, and people experiencing major life transitions. I have additional training in cultural and LGBTQIA2+ competencies, Brainspotting, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I work a lot with exploration and understanding of self. Together I work with clients to understand their patterns, values, and ways they want to show up. Recently I became trained in Brainspotting to better serve my clients in processing trauma.
