“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -C.G. Jung
Making the choice to start a therapeutic journey which allows you to explore change and your needs in life is a big decision. Putting forth the time and effort to invest in your personal growth can be both exciting and daunting. One of the most important parts of this endeavor is to be paired with a mental health provider that is right for you. I believe a therapeutic relationship is one where both sides collaborate to help you on your path to growth and self-actualization.
I work with clients who are wanting to navigate a myriad of life circumstances and need coping skills along with support to move through these experiences. Many of which are struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidality, mood disorders, body image, eating disorders, codependency, and strained relationships. I specialize in working with clients that have complex trauma histories, as well as those who struggle with impulsivity, behavioral patterns and addiction. I have extensive experience working with healthcare professionals and first responders.
I work with individuals on a variety of needs including; one’s sense of self, life goals, relationships, and help clients shape their own narrative. I have a trauma informed care lens and utilize a multitude of modalities depending on a client’s specific needs including; EMDR, mindfulness, creative interventions and an experiential approach. I have facilitated group therapy for many populations including; LGBTQIA+, Healthcare Professionals/ Service workers, and those struggling with addiction. I have provided lectures at recovery centers in regards to relationship dynamics as well as LGBTQIA+ education. I was a panelist on the subject of “Imposter Syndrome” for the 2020 Assemblage- focusing on women and diverse communities in business.
I earned my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling with a focus on addiction and social justice at the Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling. I am passionate about helping people explore their needs and find their voice.
