I firmly believe that each individual has their unique journey towards healing, and I am here to support and guide you in a way that respects your personal choices and autonomy. I see you as the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, providing empathy, genuine understanding, and unconditional positive regard. By honoring your experiences and perspectives, I aim to facilitate a therapeutic journey that is meaningful and empowering for you. My commitment to harm reduction underscores my belief in meeting clients where they are without judgment or stigma. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Together, we will explore various approaches and techniques to minimize harm and maximize your well-being.
I work with adults of all ages, both individually and with couples, where I use a strengths-based approach to therapy. I am passionate about creating an inclusive, nonjudgemental, and welcoming space to help you get your therapeutic needs met. I have experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, people who are HIV+, neurodiverse individuals, and survivors of sexual and domestic violence. Within these communities, I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, substance use, and difficulties managing the challenging circumstances life may present.
Outside of work, I spend much of my time outdoors, enjoying both warm and cold weather hobbies. In the warmer months, I adore gardening, kayaking, swimming, and playing a competitive game of cribbage while camping. During the winter, I appreciate a winter bonfire, cross country skiing, and ice fishing.
