I approach therapy in a personalized developed treatment plan for each client. I consider your upbringing, cultural background, intersectionality, and current symptoms. Therapy can be scary; it may the first time you’re processing experiences, discussing emotions you haven’t uncovered, or coming to difficult conclusions regarding life decisions. This is why it’s of the upmost importance to me that you are met with a warm, nonjudgemental environment.
I specialize with people going through life transitions and decision-making, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and working through gender and identity development. I work with women, LGBTQ+, and military members and partners of those in the military.
I take a collaborative approach to goal setting, ensuring you feel we are working toward an increase in overall functioning. I encourage you to book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if we're a good fit. I take a warm, inviting approach and want to ensure you are getting your needs met. I offer in person or virtual.

I work from a psychodynamic, collaborative, relational framework to create goals and outcomes to focus on together. In your first session, we will focus on what brought you in, your history, and where you'd like to be. I can help you with identifying and reframing unhelpful thinking patterns, understanding yourself on a deeper level, and improving overall functioning.
