There are many different therapy styles, but what matters most is that your child or teen feels understood, supported, and safe. I work to build a genuine, trusting relationship where kids and adolescents can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace. My goal is to create a space where growth feels possible and insight can develop naturally. I have experience supporting children and teens with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions, using cognitive-behavioral and humanistic approaches.

Please note that all sessions are via tele-medicine. I believe that clients seeking counseling services desire tools for living a better life, and I strive to provide those tools. I do not push change on clients, but rather helps them articulate how they want their lives to be, and then collaboratively set out to put the foundation in place to create that life. I feel that clients gain the most from the counseling experience when they feel supported, encouraged, and understood by their therapist. This process works best in a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space, which I provide.

I work with individuals navigating trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and major life transitions through a LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive lens.

The best part about being a therapist is guiding clients in understanding what has informed and shaped them to date and how they can design a future that will meet their needs and confront obstacles along the way. I enjoy helping clients to explore ideas previously overlooked and to discover strengths they did not know they possessed. The first and most important task of any therapist is to listen thoroughly to all aspects of a client's presentation, to engage with the client with curiosity and interest, and to elicit from the client all the feelings and thoughts that come to bear in shaping their world.

When certain areas of life feel overwhelming, unfulfilling, or difficult to navigate, therapy can offer a space to regain clarity and direction. I believe that meaningful change happens when you feel understood, supported, and actively involved in the process. My approach focuses on helping you connect with your inner resources and sense of purpose, drawing from existential and meaning-centered psychology to support growth, resilience, and a more fulfilling life. With over 18 years of experience, I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families from diverse cultural, religious, and non-religious backgrounds.

Do you feel stuck in your head — replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling anxious even when things look fine on the outside?
I work with adults who overthink. Especially around relationships, dating, and life transitions. If your brain runs on high alert even when nothing is technically wrong, that's exactly who I work with.
My approach is direct and practical. I'm not going to nod silently for fifty minutes. I'll actually tell you what I think, help you understand why your mind works the way it does, and give you tools you can use outside of our sessions.
