I am driven to facilitate change, improve life functioning, and resolve psychological issues in adolescents, parents, young adults, and adults through individualized therapy. My clinical background includes experience treating depression, anxiety, suicidality, trauma, sexual and gender identity exploration, sex offending behavior, eating disorders, parent stress, physical illness and related mental health concerns, learning differences, ADHD, and divorce/separation. My background in psychological testing and working within a medical setting also inform my practice.
I utilize a variety of evidence-based and relational therapies with a foundation of a client-centered, psychodynamic therapeutic approach, which is trauma-informed, strengths-based, holistic, and collaborative. I strive to support you to attain a happier life through an authentic therapeutic relationship.
Reaching out for support takes courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you in this process. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to change, I'm here to listen and actively explore what is challenging to you. Together, we’ll work toward building a life that feels more connected, meaningful, and true to who you are.

I offer a compassionate space to explore depression, anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal challenges. During our initial session, I gather background information that helps to inform our work as we build trust and move toward change. Our work is relational in that previous sessions can inform the present. I offer a holistic approach that includes validation, problem solving, and intention.
