My ideal clients are adults and adolescents who feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own. Some appear to be functioning well but feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma responses, or relationship dynamics beneath the surface. Others may feel different from their peers, socially ostracized, or exhausted from masking just to fit in. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy, but you do need a willingness to be curious about yourself and be open to doing the work that meaningful change requires.
I’m an eclectic therapist certified in DBT who integrates this and other modalities within a trauma-informed, strengths-based, relational framework. My work focuses on emotional regulation, trauma recovery, identity development, and relationships, and is grounded in LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-racist, body neutral, neurodiversity-affirming care.
Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or lonely at times, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. Therapy can be a place to feel understood, gain clarity, and build tools that truly help. When you’re ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
