LGBTQIA+ Experiences
I work with individuals, couples, and families who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. My approach is one of empathy, compassion, and warmth as those qualities, I believe, are essential when talking about how to navigate LGBTQIA+ experiences.
Trauma Therapy
I work with many people who have experienced traumatic events in the past or are currently living through trauma. I hold space for these clients while also working actively to invite all parts of themselves to the table and empower them to re-author an empowering story of resilience.
Couples Counseling
I work with couples who might feel like their relationship is hanging on by a thread. Maybe you argue a lot, maybe there was infidelity, or maybe you just feel like you are stuck in a rut. I work with couples to bring back hope and connection to their relationship.
Scheduling
I want to meet you where you are
With an educational background in marriage and family therapy, I can collaborate with clients to co-create or "re-author" a new story of growth and healing. The path of recovery from trauma is beautiful and daunting. Better yet, it’s necessary. So, I am here to offer support and guidance on that path. I am skilled at helping clients with this process and helping people thrive.
I want to hear your story. I want to meet you wherever you are and work with you to move closer to where you want to be! Please reach out to me if you feel we would be a good fit to work together on the way toward healing.
