I am passionate about creating a safe and open-minded space for all identities in my therapy. I believe the most important aspect when it comes to therapy is having it be collaborative, empathetic, and a safe space for you to share. I have experience working with young adults who present with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma, and suicidal ideation. I also assist with LGBTQIA+ identities and transitions. I look at each symptom that the individual presents through a trauma-focused lens. Outside of work, I enjoy cuddling my three cats, watching crime shows, and playing videogames.
In my therapy practice, I integrate a variety of modalities to meet the unique needs of each client. I am trained in EMDR, and I am also working on my IFSTTC certification which will be completed in June of 2026. My work is grounded in a trauma-focused lens and a person-centered approach, ensuring that clients feel seen, heard, and empowered!
The hardest step is reaching out, so I'm proud of you for reading this far! Please feel free to give me a call, text or email to schedule a virtual appointment today! Virtual therapy is not for everyone due to attention or accessibility reasons, so please know that I would love to accommodate you!

I believe in my therapeutic experience that no modality of therapy fits a person perfectly. In order to maintain strengths-based and person-centered treatment, I adjust which modalities I am using each session (unless specified) to accommodate to the specific concern a client is wanting to address. I want to make sure that therapy is suited to you, and not the other way around!
