Nice to meet you
Hello, I’ve worked in many areas of mental health, from supporting foster youth to working in the prison system. I value authenticity and offer a safe space to be yourself. I provide positive regard to build a strong therapeutic alliance. I specialize in anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, and inner child and inner mother wound work. I help clients understand anxiety and reduce its intensity, moving from freeze, fight, or flight into a more connected sense of being.

Interests
I enjoy the outdoors and being around animals such as horses and chickens. I also enjoy going on walks by the beach and feeling the cold sand; it makes me feel grounded and connected to the earth. I like to watch movies from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
