I strive to provide a caring and non-judgmental approach to therapy that helps individuals identify their strengths. I am interested in the connections between mind, body and spirit in the healing process of therapy. I trust that clients are the expert on themself, and I will collaborate with clients throughout the therapeutic process.
I am a graduate of the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work (GCSW) as a Trauma Fellow. I have fifteen years of experience working in non-profit organizations in Iowa, Montana and Houston.
I have extensive professional training and experience working in the field of domestic and sexual violence. I also have experience working with children and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
In addition to my non-profit work, I spent several years working in fitness as a group fitness instructor and a personal trainer. My goal is to combine my education and training with my personal life experiences to provide a safe space that facilitates holistic healing for individuals.
My areas of interest as a therapist are:
- Complex trauma
- Domestic violence
- Sexual assault
- Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse
- Peri/postnatal issues
- Depression/anxiety
- Body image/body trust
- Positive sexuality
- LGBTQIA
