If you’re reading this, you may be considering whether it’s time to seek additional support—and that in itself is a powerful first step. I commend you for taking the initiative to create change and regain a sense of control in your life. I believe every individual is unique, which is why I use an integrative, personalized approach tailored to your needs. My goal is to provide an affirming, empathetic, non-judgmental, and empowering space where you can explore, heal, and grow. You are not alone, and you deserve to be heard.
I have experience treating adjustment concerns, anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I also work with interpersonal relationship issues, career exploration, college-related stress, men’s and women’s issues, gender and sexual identity/orientation, among other concerns. I am LGBTQIA+ allied and committed to providing a safe space to heal.
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and you deserve to prioritize it. Seeking support can feel vulnerable, but you’ve already taken the most difficult and meaningful first step by reaching out. I invite you to continue your journey toward growth, healing, and becoming the healthiest version of yourself.
