Areas of Expertise

I treat both complex trauma that occurs over long periods and one time traumatic events. Trauma manifests itself in numerous ways and can look like anxiety, depression, and unhelpful belief systems. I use a combination of EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, inner child work, Somatic, and Systems work.

I work with individuals all across the spectrum with both high and low support needs. I enjoy helping people more impacted on the spectrum with developing life skills, job skills, interpersonal skills, and finding increased fulfillment and quality of life. This may also include life planning and arranging for support systems.

I also work with individuals on the spectrum that are able to live independently, but still struggle with anxiety, social skills, executive functioning, self worth, and any other challenges that may arise. I have special experience working with late diagnosed and self-diagnosed adult Autistics.

In addition, I believe that it is also important to provide mental health and counseling services to the family members. Family members are often impacted in their own profound ways and deserve support.

Other issues that are often found with Autism are ADHD, OCD, sensory processing issues, and chronic health problems.

One of my areas of focus is with clients that have experienced the trauma of a spiritual abuse background. This may include high control religions, exposure to unhealthy church dynamics, toxic or patriarchal belief systems, or abuses of the LGBTQ community.

I believe in working alongside my clients as they deconstruct unhealthy and damaging beliefs or experiences. These experiences often impact how clients view themselves in the world. I hope to help my clients develop a healthy love for themselves and to create what a healthy spiritual life looks like to them.

Out of all the issues that I treat, I truly respect any client that presents to therapy with the intention of creating deep, lasting, and transformational change in themselves and their life. I am honored to work alongside clients who have a goal to heal themselves, live authentically, and live their life to its fullest potential. I enjoy working with clients who courageously look within themselves and are there because they believe in the work of therapy. This work is generally more long term and can be across the lifespan.
