My goal as a therapist is to partner with my clients to help them improve their quality of life. I am a licensed mental health counselor, a certified school counselor, and have been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an empirically supported treatment for victims of trauma. With over twenty years of experience working in school, agency, and private practice settings, I have extensive familiarity with diverse populations of children, adolescents, and adults. Using a client-centered approach to counseling and therapy, I want my clients to feel supported, empowered, and encouraged to take an active role in their treatment.
Life has a way of keeping us on our toes. Like many others, I have experienced unexpected loss, challenges, and obstacles that have ignited a passion for helping others. I am open, down to earth, and have a geeky sense of humor. I am LGBTQ+ knowledgeable, antiracist, and highly value diversity, equity, and inclusion.
