It takes a great deal of courage to share your experiences with a therapist and begin to work on yourself. I believe in accepting yourself as you are, while also continuing to change and improve yourself to live the life you want. I work to create a safe space that is nonjudgmental and open to nurturing personal growth. I strongly believe that the most progress comes from a good client-therapist relationship. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults working through life's challenges and processing ordinary stressors. Author of You Can't Stay There: Surviving a Breakup One Moment at a Time available on Amazon.
I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, relationships, dating struggles, breakups, trauma, and self-esteem. I am passionate about guiding those struggling with unfulfilling relationships and navigating the world of dating. I am geek/nerd-informed and am also a sex-positive and kink-aware therapist.
I personally have an appreciation and love for gaming, cosplay, & art. I frequently draw on these, along with Narrative therapy, DBT, ACT & CBT as counseling tools to help people better understand how they relate to the world, discover themselves, and move toward a life worth living.
