About me

Finally considering therapy? Great! I have many years of experience as a trauma focused therapist. My client demographic is highly variable as I enjoy seeing all humans thrive and be able to experience peace and joy. I work with adults and children, individuals and couples, servicemembers and LGBTQAI. I am strengths-based with conscientious focus on religious trauma and sexual assault survivorship. I hold an M.Ed in Counseling and Human Services and am pursuing a PhD in Clinical Sexology.
I am a safe person to objectively hear your prior trauma and events for which you might carry guilt shame. It's time for you to let go and be free...the freedom to lead a reasonably happy life. (Note, I do not write letters for LOA)

She is like a long lost BFF that listens and gives advice but doesn’t tell me what to do, she gives me tools I can use to better whatever situation I am dealing with.
