About Me
I have an undergraduate degree in social psychology and a master’s
degree in professional counseling. My journey from college to graduate
school took me along several avenues: In addition to a 10-year
veterinary background, I spent 12 years training dogs using positive
reinforcement methods, which integrated the theories I learned in both
my undergraduate and master’s programs.
I worked in the nonprofit sector for several years, providing
counseling to a wide array of low-income individuals, families, and
couples with differing degrees of psychological issues. My passion
for people and belief in the healing power of compassionate human
interaction allow me to build a strong rapport with my clients in order
to provide proper guidance and support through the therapeutic journey.
I have spent a great deal of time doing volunteer work in crisis
situations, including hurricanes Ike and Katrina, which helped solidify
my dedication to helping those in need.
I have a special interest in transgender, lesbian, gay, and bisexual communities and the unique issues they face. I also have extensive knowledge and experience in the realms of polyamory, sexual trauma and abuse, feminine empowerment, anxiety and depression. I continue to research these topics in order to stay current on issues that can affect the therapeutic process.
