Accepting new clients (Dec 2025)! I offer a supportive, therapeutic environment where you can harness your innate strengths and work toward your goals. Rooted in trust and unconditional positive regard, our work together will focus on developing practical strategies to navigate life’s challenges and promote long-term wellbeing. Through a collaborative approach, we will empower you to create a meaningful and fulfilling life that aligns with your psychological needs.
I specialize in transition-aged individuals (ages 18-29+). I have experience working with a range of concerns including college life, ADHD, relationship (and friendship) challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQ+ identities.
My approach is grounded in a person-centered, strength-based, attachment-based, feminist, and culturally sensitive framework, tailored to each person. I draw from somatic, emotions-focused, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and solutions-focused modalities. Please email me to schedule an appointment.
