In a world that can often feel chaotic and heavy, it’s great to have a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings where you will not be judged. Healing can be messy and uncomfortable, but it can also be beautiful and empowering! I love what I do and am very passionate about helping others along their journey.
I have a long history of working with children, adolescents as both a paraprofessional and mental health therapist in the school setting and as a mental health therapist.

My passion is to help guide children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges and build resilience. I believe that no matter what someone has experienced in the past, everyone has the capacity for healing and positive change. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward. I earned my Bachelor’s degree as a triple major in Psychology from Manchester University with concentrations in Cognitive Neuroscience, Religious Culture, and Industrial-Organizational Psychology.

I am passionate about empowering children, adolescents and adults to overcome the many struggles of life that may be impeding their personal success. My goal is to create a safe and accepting environment using a client-centered approach so that all clients are given the opportunity to explore, understand, and cope with life’s challenges, events, and relationships. I especially love working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I have worked extensively with adolescents in an educational setting as well as individuals experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and significant stress.

Child therapy is my passion. I utilize a behavioral approach partnering with parents and school personnel to address issues impeding success. Often, children express their feelings and/or internal conflict through their behaviors and are seen as "bad kids." My goal is to identify and build on the child's strengths, explore what is impeding their success and to help channel feelings in a healthy way. I am here to assist your child in decreasing feelings of anxiety, reducing impulsive/hyperactive behaviors, process grief resulting from a divorce or loss of a loved one, heal from trauma, improve self-esteem and teach social skills.

My passion for supporting individuals struggling with mental health challenges, addiction, trauma, or crisis led me to pursue the path of becoming a therapist. In today’s busy and unpredictable world, it’s easy to lose touch with what’s most important to us and feel disconnected from our values and sense of self. Factors and events outside of our control can contribute to mental health struggles and addiction. I believe that rediscovering who we are at our core empowers us to use our values and unique strengths to navigate life’s highs and lows.

Seeing others heal through different therapeutic approaches is one of my greatest accomplishments in life. My goal is to create an atmosphere where people can freely express themselves without judgement or ridicule from the therapist but to aide in being the best version of themselves. My target audience are adolescent teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and/or any social emotional impact one may be experiencing. Using a CBT approach, my goal is to assist the client in establishing and differentiating between negative and healthy thoughts as well as see the power of behavioral change.

You deserve a space where you don’t have to perform, shrink, or justify who you are. As a non-binary, queer, and neurodivergent therapist with more than a decade of experience, I am committed to providing affirming, compassionate care for adolescents and adults. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens in environments where authenticity is valued over conformity, and where you can finally exhale without the need to mask. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent folx, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, Bipolar Disorder, grief, and difficult life transitions.

As an experienced Licensed Social Worker, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and adults from various backgrounds. I believe my role as a clinician is to assist others in taking control of their circumstances to achieve their own goals, thereby helping themselves and others to maximize the quality of their lives. My educational background assumes a developmental approach which explains growth, change, and consistency though the lifespan in biological, social, emotion, and cognitive areas. Developmental psychology looks at how thinking, feeling, and behavior effect one’s health and perspective.
