Being a therapist truly feels like a calling for me. I've wanted to be a mental health provider since I was 13 years old, and over the years I've found that my younger self somehow knew that being in support of the healing and growth of others was the perfect fit. I've felt honored to be alongside clients as they explore their difficulties and gain understanding of themselves and direction in their lives. For more than a decade I've focused on providing talk therapy to those who experience trauma in all of its forms, whether through racism, sexual assault, gender based violence (which includes those who are trans), homophobia, family conflict, or a set of experiences that may be hard to name. As a therapist my initial goal is to make sure that my clients feel seen and understood as they are without judgement or bias. For healing to happen, I believe that we need to feel safe enough to be our full selves. Once we can acknowledge our humanity, we can then begin to reflect on what needs to shift or change, whether that's something within us or how we relate to the things outside of us. I often tell my new clients that I'm a root-puller: I go for the deep sources of pain so that they no longer have the same hold or impact on my clients. I strive to help my clients become the versions of themselves that they can grow to respect, honor, and feel accepting of. Those who choose me as their therapist are choosing to do hard, but rewarding work. I additionally provide clinical supervision for pre-licensed and early career clinicians, and can provide more detailed information about that process for those interested.
