I work with adults and teens who feel anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves—particularly LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and identity-questioning clients navigating major life transitions. If you're feeling ‘othered’ in any way, I welcome the opportunity to work together to find the relief you're seeking. I personally relate to some of these challenges and understand how navigating life and identity can sometimes be difficult. I can be supportive in creating a safe and brave space for you to be at ease with being your authentic self and work towards accomplishing your mental health goals.
I use evidence-based approaches to tailor each session to address various concerns from depression, anxiety, identity exploration, and effective coping strategies. I embrace both traditional and modern methods, and provide flexibility to meet your unique needs. I'm committed to inclusivity, cultural sensitivity, and respect for diverse identities.
I work hard to earn your trust, build a therapeutic relationship, and navigate life's challenges. I'm a seasoned professional with many years of experience who is dedicated to your well-being and growth. I look forward to working with you on your path of healing and self-discovery!

I mix a handful of modalities into my practice including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe stress-inducing thinking patterns, Internal Family Systems to explore clients' sub-personalities within themselves that drive behaviors, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to promote mental flexibility and values driven decision-making.
