Get To Know Me
What does a first session with you look like?
In our first session we will complete an intake in order for me to learn about what brings you to therapy, your treatment history, your expectations, and the goals that you would like to set. I highly value the strength of the therapeutic relationship, so it is my goal to understand who you are as a person as well as the experiences which have shaped you to be who you are today. I am here to learn from you as well because you are the expert on you.
What should we know about your experiences and background?
In addition to being a therapist, I have been a martial arts instructor and practitioner for 13 years, which has aided me in being able to connect with individuals from a variety of different backgrounds both inside and outside of the therapy room.

Work HistoryMy clinical focus is in treating trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, and other stress-related concerns. I have experience working in a community agency offering EMDR therapy to clients who have experienced trauma. I also use a variety of other theoretical orientations including CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I also provide confidential and competent support to those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
