What do you want? What’s in your way? I would be honored to help you navigate these questions. The process can be messy, which is why I hope to offer an open space in which you are free to make a mess, make mistakes, and discover new ways of living. The healthiest version of yourself is within reach.

I have worked for the past 6 years in a variety of clinical mental health settings: inpatient treatment center for individuals with dual diagnoses, group home for adult men with schizophrenia, court-mandated substance abuse recovery program for adolescents, and wilderness therapy for young adults. I am open to working with any person who feels I might be a good fit for them. Issues that we focus on in session could be: anxiety, depression, addiction, body image issues, disordered eating, LGBTQ+ issues, family of origin, religious trauma, suicide, grief, and trauma around issues of sex, race, health, or violence.

Theoretically, I have implemented Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with both groups and individuals, but also utilize Narrative, Existential, and Gestalt modalities.
