I know that because you’re here reading this that you have at least a little hope left. I can work with that. I provide a collaborative and open approach to therapy without any judgement. I have a passion for working with folks (especially adolescents) who are navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, substance use, and other mental health concerns. I am specifically honored to serve LGBTQiA+ folks as a proud member of the queer community myself. I love helping anyone tap into their autonomy, self-love, find their strengths, and accomplish their goals.
I practice stress and risk management, which allows folks to have autonomy over their decisions. Whether that be coming out as transgender, building community, sexual exploration, drug use, etc. at their own level of comfort, safety, and pace. You are in the driver's seat and determine where we're going. I'm by your side, helping you find your path.
Finding a therapist you click with isn't always easy and sometimes takes some work to find a good match. If any of this resonated with you, reach out! I offer free 15 minute consultations to see if I'm the right fit for you. Whenever you're ready, let's take this journey together.

As a queer person myself, I got into this field to give back to my community. I tend to dive into what is working for you/keeping you afloat right now, and we build up a steadier raft of coping skills around that. The seas of life may get rocky, but we'll weather them together.

I take a generalist-eclectic approach to my therapy practice, which means I will tailor my treatment type to the individual client and their goals/preferences. That being said, I tend to gravitate towards Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, and Solution Focused Brief as modalities.
