I am experienced in helping clients with a variety of life challenges including anxiety, depression, ADHD, gender identity, trauma, grief, and anger management. I'm a certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical specialist, and I have extensive experience working with young adults in the LGBTQIA community, health care workers, and veterans. In addition, I have training in veterinary social work, which includes working with veterinarians and animal rescue workers, as well as addressing issues surrounding pet loss and grief.
My aim as a therapist is to create a space for clients to feel safe, seen, and heard, where we can work together to achieve goals using a collaborative, client-centered approach.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and unsure of yourself, or are struggling with anxiety, depression, or grief, it’s important to know you’re not alone, and that asking for help is the first step to healing. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out today so we can discuss how we can work together.

I utilize a strengths-based approach to help clients feel empowered in their differences. Our initial sessions involve creating a goal-oriented treatment plan where we will discuss what you want out of therapy, and determine how to reach those goals.
