The clients I work with most often are those who struggle with "angst," or those who think deeply about life yet continue to struggle to find happiness or purpose in the modern world. In the first session, people working with me should expect that we will essentially just get to know each other. We may not start "therapy" in the first one or two sessions that we meet with each other, but I want to make sure I genuinely know you before diving into any type of therapy. It is ok if we don't get to the "deepest" or "hardest" moments of your life in our first session. I mostly want to know what you want out of therapy!
As a counselor, the majority of my work has focused on helping people navigate not only depression or anxiety, but also trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, neurodivergent issues (i.e. Autism Spectrum, ADHD), existential/spiritual concerns, and personal growth and development. Together I've worked with people to better understand and empathize with all parts of themselves
I believe that all of us, even at our worst, act out from a place of love. If you're interested in connecting, please feel free to reach out to me via my website, email, or phone. I also offer free 15-minute video-call consultations so we can get to know each other before "officially" working together. Hope to chat with you soon!

As a trauma-focused therapist, I work with people to help better understand trauma from the lens of "how did you learn how to keep yourself safe throughout life?" (not just physically but emotionally as well). This can involve looking at specific traumatic experiences as well as systemic or societal factors that may have impacted how you navigate the world.
