I practice as an affirming therapist of every human I encounter. Training and conferences I have taken over the years center on focusing on the individual themselves, rather than what they have been through. goals. I specifically enjoy using a solution-focused approach to therapy, and have witnessed great success in focusing on realistic solutions to concerns. You can also trust that I will always bring a positive, nonjudgmental approach while in my care. I bring a very calm, optimistic energy to my therapy sessions. I also specialize in helping individuals by using a strengths-based approach with your unique concerns in mind. I have experience working with extensive trauma including individuals grieving, military service members, LGBTQ+, and navigating suicidal and homicidal thoughts. Psychosis, depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders are where I have centered my focus for the past 10 years. I hope to be a consistent, positive light in your life. I do not see a diagnosis as a label or defining feature of who somebody is. Regardless of what a mental health condition is called, I believe that with the right support around you, you have the ability to thrive. You can ensure that I will always bring a kind and warm attitude to help create a safe environment for your growth- at your own pace.
