Every person has values and goals. My role as a therapist is to come alongside you as you think about and experience what gets in the way of your values. Sometimes the barrier can be life events, family history, conflicting values or other mental health barriers like anxiety and depression. 

 

Because each person is unique it takes creativity to create the change and growth that each person wants for themselves and for their relationships. I believe it is my role to help each person with creatively exploring what growth, change and healing looks like. 

 

I enjoy using pop-culture, geek and gaming cultures to facilitate the kind of growth that promotes a healthy and relationally connected life. I use my education and learning with Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and elements of Psychodrama to help clients identify values and make measured steps towards growth. 

​

I care deeply about social justice and believe in the integration of identity and cultural experiences. I work to recognize how faith, privilege, discrimination and diversity impact each persons development and identity. I provide support and affirmation for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples in therapy to support this vision of equity in care!
