Life is hard! Especially during transitions, which we all experience often. I’m here to help you process your week, build new skills, and achieve your goals.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, trauma, mindfulness, building self compassion and self care, family conflict resolution, making friends, and re-engaging in school and work. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ folks and offer an affirming environment for all identities.
In our work together, I see you as the expert on your own life. I show up with collaboration, dedication, and commitment to help you in the ways that feel the most supportive to you. I use a trauma-informed approach and enjoy working with young people who aren’t so sure about the idea of therapy.
My down-to-earth and direct approach utilizes humor, art, music, games, and nature to help therapy feel more playful and fun. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call to determine if I could be a good fit for you!
