I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity-related stressors with a therapeutic style that is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. My work is trauma-informed and gender-affirming, creating a space where clients of all identities—especially those within the LGBTQ+ community—feel seen, respected, and supported. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, empowering, and genuinely collaborative—where you can move toward meaningful change.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in developing flexibility.
My clinical focus includes anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, and LGBTQ+ mental health, with particular attention to how trauma, identity, and life transitions shape emotional wellbeing. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines structured, evidence-based methods with compassion and authenticity, I’d be honored to support you on your healing journey.

For depression and anxiety, I utilize cognitive behavioral techniques, which allows for alternative thinking and coping strategies towards overall wellness. For trauma, I am aware of how past experiences can impact the present and we will discuss how we can change that narrative towards a better future despite the past. You can be sure you will be provided a safe space regardless of the concern!
