I am a mental health therapist who provides education and support to process thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to a variety of mental health concerns. I have worked with teens and adults who have a history of trauma and need a safe place to work through their experiences and understand how they may impact their relationships, education or careers, and other life goals. I have experience working with individuals with sexual behaviors problems and increasing healthy attitudes and behaviors they are able to maintain as they transition through adulthood and stay out of trouble. I have also worked with individuals who struggle with healthy relationships and attachment due to childhood trauma in order for them to achieve their goals at successful relationships. Please reach out if anything I have described would help you reach your goals!

She is very personable and it is easy to open up to her. She listens intently and she is very interested in getting to the root of the issue that I am having.
