I believe that counseling has the biggest impact when the client and counselor are able to work together towards a common goal. I strive to allow the client to lead sessions in the direction that they feel is most important, while balancing our time with therapeutic strategies that fit the client's needs. I prioritize safety, warmth, and openness in my work.
I work with all ages, but I am especially passionate about working with young adults as they navigate the complexities of life. I work to adapt my therapeutic approach to the needs of the individual client. I am open to providing more concrete skills, as well as a safe and unbiased space for processing.
I am currently able to offer both online and in-person sessions and a sliding scale fee based on your needs. I know it can be intimidating to start the process of looking for a therapist. I have done the same process myself! But I truly believe in the positive effect that counseling can have, and I encourage you to reach out.

I work with clients who's anxiety or emotional distress makes it difficult to engage in life the way they want to. During our initial sessions, we will practice new skills to help you alleviate discomfort quickly. Overtime, we will work together to create safety and comfort in the counseling space in order to take on deeper issues that may arise.

I love the new wave of Cognitive Behavioral therapies that utilized elements of mindfulness and acceptance, like ACT and DBT! I think these approaches allow clients to feel more validated in their experiences and help them grow in awareness of the self.
