I am LGBTQ+ affirming and encourage exploration and understanding from a multicultural lens.
The choice to seek therapy is often complicated and forming a relationship with your therapist is an important part of the process. I create a collaborative space where you can discuss your concerns, identities and story. Together we can identify where you would like therapy to take you, build on day-to-day techniques and explore deeper patterns and experiences that may create barriers. My approach is integrative and incorporates skills, narrative processing, metaphor, and intentional decision making. I hope that through our work you will feel empowered to make changes and feel more secure, stable, an sync with your values.

I usually find myself working with people who know there's something not quite right but aren't sure where to start. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression, and don't know why? Are relationships difficult, or do you feel like you haven't found your people? Has life suddenly just switched to "hard mode"? I especially enjoy working with people who are trying balance work and managing chronic illnesses, fellow social services employees, and LGBTQ+ clients. I love working with neurodivergence!

I work quite a bit with the LGBTQ community.
I applaud your courage as you seek help. Having a child who is anxious/depressed can make your heart very heavy. I love providing a space for you and your children to grow and flourish. Working with young people is part of my life's work. I specialize in working with children ages 6 through 18. I also work with adults. Seeking help from a therapist can be scary; I know what it feels like as I've been in therapy at different times in my life too. Looking back, it has been added so much value to my life. I enjoy helping people find their true purpose and work to their full potential. Please feel free to call/email.

As a therapist I work to create a safe, empathetic, judgment-free and welcoming space for you to process difficult experiences, manage life transitions and gain insight. While I have been a counselor for about 4 years, I have been working with trauma survivors and building on that knowledge for about 10 years. My foundation as a therapist was built on advocacy work for survivors of sexual violence. Additionally, I have worked on several college campuses with students as they manage life transitions and stressors that come with this. Lastly, I love working with young adults in processing grief and loss, identity concerns and more.

You find that you no longer are doing the things you enjoy and don’t even recognize yourself anymore when you look in the mirror. You feel hopeless and trapped in this cycle of avoiding these feelings. You wonder if things will ever change. Therapy can help provide some hope. I believe change and healing happen through support, self-discovery, challenging negative thoughts, and creating new habits and routines.
