My style and approach to therapy is very person-centered. grounded in collaboration, empathy, and respect and incorporates different trauma informed practices and counseling modalities. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and goals. I believe that therapy is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and I approach every client with warmth, empathy, and respect for their unique journey. My goal is to create an open, non-judgmental environment where you can explore, heal, and grow.

I have previous experience in varying mental health professions. I have extensive experience in outpatient counseling and crisis intervention. I have counseled individuals, couples and families of all ages walking through many different areas of life transitions and challenges. I have also previously worked for a 24 hr crisis hotline and served as a co-responder, responding to 911 calls (mental health in nature) with local law enforcement officers. I believe my diverse employment background supplements my education and offers me valuable first hand knowledge.
