I

I have years of experience treating depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition to these, I have an emphasis on serving the LGBTQIA+ community focusing on exploring themes of sexuality and gender identity with adolescents, teens while also supporting their families, as well as supported adults and seniors exploring their identity throughout the course of their life. Over the years I have gained further training and experience working with clients who practice ethical non-monogamy, kink, and other sex positive communities. 

Addiction work is another passion of mine. My career began in a residential treatment facility for adolescents females experiencing addiction often in conjunction with depression, family challenges, and a trauma history.  Over the course of my profession I have continued working with teens and adults who struggle with alcohol and other drug use. I utilize a harm reduction approach to support my clients during any stage of their recovery process. Many people turn to substances as a way of coping with various competing stressors in their life. I appreciate that and come from a compassionate and nonjudgmental place to explore how many self-medicate their pain with substances.
