I help guide children, teens, and adults towards a mentally and emotionally healthy life, where they have the tools to pursue their best selves. Life often throws the unexpected at us, and we need someone to help us through life stressors, family conflicts, exploring our identity, and finding goals and direction in life.
I have several years of experience counseling children and young adults from a variety of backgrounds, and have focused my work with clients in the LGBTQ+ community, in both exploring their identity and handling life stressors unrelated to their identity.
I have a passion for walking with clients through their journey in building their mental health, exploring their identity, or handling whatever they may be dealing with. I invite you to reach out by email to set up a time to see if I would be a good fit to walk with you on your own mental health journey.

I work with clients struggling with trauma, suicidal thoughts, or just every day stress. I specialize in working with LGBTQ and neurodivergent folks as well. I use mindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches in my work to find the best way to work with your brain, not against your brain.
