About Me
I work with individuals, couples, and families with a variety of different mental health issues. I am able to help with ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, as well as other diagnoses. I am trained in working with your trauma with EMDR and trauma-focused CBT, and am working on training with sand tray therapy. I am certified in therapeutic table top gaming, and a complete geeky nerd. I am well versed in working with the LGBTQ+ community, and am an avid supporter of LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and other marginalized groups. I am kink and ENM supportive and allied.
Education & Experience
I graduated with my second Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in December of 2020. I have a previous Master of Science degree in General Psychology. I have since worked in community mental health and am now working with a non-profit organization as well as private practice. I am also certified in therapeutic table-top gaming which allows for the therapy experience to happen through table-top role playing games. This allows you to work with any issues through a therapeutic role-playing experience to help with socialization, communication issues, coping skills, and trauma processing.
