Welcome! Today is the first step in moving forward, finding support, and using ways to find our strength from within. Beginning with a therapist takes courage. Meeting is the next step!
As a holistic practitioner, I believe in the importance of balance and overall wellness to help people thrive. With over 20 years of experience, I support adults dealing with substance use and recovery, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, and LGBTQ+ identity and relationships. I am an affirming and active ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
Sessions are offered via secure telehealth, increasing access and reducing barriers to care. I'm available by email to schedule an appointment or a free initial consultation. If you’re ready to move forward in life I’d be honored to support you on that journey.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: Together we can change learned behaviors and any unhelpful cognitive distortions. We aren’t born afraid to speak up for ourselves. We aren’t born to be fearful of day to day life. We can work together to improve day to day life and well being.
