WHERE IT STARTED
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience in the field, I specialize in working with adults, particularly focusing on areas such as veterans, chronic pain/illness, trauma, collaboration with other therapists, and providing support to the LGBTQIA+ community.
My background has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to address a wide range of mental health diagnoses and provide individualized support to individuals seeking guidance and healing . I am dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for my clients to explore their emotions, navigate life’s complexities, and work towards holistic well-being.
I have HEDS myself so I have a personal understanding of experiencing chronic health issues and navigating the medical system.
Empathy, Understanding, Growth
