Navigating life’s challenges can be tough, but you don't have to do it alone. I help individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship issues, general life stressors, OCD, neurodevelopmental disorders (ASD and ADHD), and sexual/domestic violence. I work with individuals from all backgrounds, and provide a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore what’s on your mind.
Drawing from diverse experience in trauma, community mental health, healthcare, and autism settings, I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, narrative exposure therapy, ABA, and ERP. Whatever you're facing, I'm here to collaborate on a path forward that feels right for you.
I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together. My goal is to create a genuine connection where you feel truly seen and heard. I'm here to walk alongside you with empathy and support as you work toward positive growth. If you're ready to begin your journey toward healing, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.
