I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ preteens, teens and adults, as well as individuals navigating relationship challenges, OCD, anxiety, and depression. My experience also includes supporting clients through self-harm, trauma, grief, stress, ADHD, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
My approach is person-centered, meaning I meet you where you are and work with you to set realistic, manageable goals that align with your current needs. Therapy can feel intimidating at first, but I strive to create a laid-back, affirming, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe, seen, and empowered.
I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I offer virtual sessions for your convenience, and I’m available via email to answer any initial questions or help you schedule a consultation.
If you're ready to begin — or just exploring the idea of therapy — I invite you to reach out. I'd be honored to support you on your path toward healing and personal growth.
