I began working with mental health in 2015 gaining experience as a crisis worker, and individual/group counselor for adolescents and young adults in residential treatment, hospital, and education settings. I’ve worked more specifically with depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, racial healing, parenting issues, strengthening relationships, trauma, spiritual exploration, and suicidal ideation. My passion for social work stems from a place of empathetic curiosity for human diversity. I seek genuine understanding into individual’s unique position in life and seemingly endless factors contributing to their current state of wellbeing.
I have profound respect for your individual identities, diverse mind and body, and right to self-determination. You’ll find my strengths as a therapist are in facilitating an exploration of self where you will be put in the driver’s seat of your own therapeutic journey allowing you to access your inner strengths and confront our world with confidence.
I have a non-traditional approach to mental health meaning that whatever mental suffering you’re experiencing won’t be pathologized, but rather seen as authentic human experience that can be explained beyond a simple diagnosis. I aim to have honest human connection between us where you can feel safe to share your story, and together alter it’s trajectory.
