Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.

When I first started working as a therapist, I learned that I loved working with teens because I could identify with the issues they faced and the skills they need to develop in order to be healthy adults. When I was a teen, I relied on my own mental health professional to give me the tools to help myself work through what was happening and I love that I get to pass that on to someone else. I have also found that I truly enjoy working with men and the issues they face. There's a vulnerability I see when I work with men that often doesn't get to be expressed in the world and I love getting to unravel that vulnerability and help men find ways to express that in their day-to-day life.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I was in the Hospitality field in an array of positions, always working customers and ensuring they had what they needed and were pleased with their service. As a therapist, I continue to do just that but from a safe and gentle lens that allows my clients to embrace vulnerability and explore their identity. Previous to my work at Hold the Vision Therapy, I worked for Trinity Counseling Center as an intern, working with children, teens, and adults on a variety of issues and diagnoses, including trauma, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and more. As a provisionally licensed therapist, I continue to work with teens and adults, as well as couples and other relational configurations. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am also the practices intake coordinator and billing specialist.
