Personal Statement
With over 15 years of experience in social services, I enjoy working with others in overcoming the hurdles they are having in life. I have a laid back, informal style to help everyone feel comfortable. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere for everyone.
I work with both adults and children in a variety of specialized areas including anxiety, depression, trauma, autism, sexual identity, etc. I also have extensive experience in working with the LGBTQ community, the Polyamory community, and the secular humanist community.
I work to ensure that counseling is not only a safe experience but also an engaging one. I use a variety of techniques and activities such as play therapy, music therapy, and art therapy to help individuals feel more engaged. Feel free to contact me to see how I can help you or your child.
