People have the capacity for incredible growth and positive change when they create genuine connections that allow them to feel seen and heard. If you are stuck in unhelpful patterns, or feel that you lack the tools or skills to make the changes you want in life, I am here to guide you on your journey and help you discover your hidden strengths. My clients struggle with family issues, existential concerns, self-injurious behaviors, suicidal ideation, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
My approach is person-centered and relational, and I also pull from modalities such as CBT, DBT, and ACT. I am affirming of marginalized identities.
Sessions with me feel supportive and compassionate, but I will also challenge you to identify and outgrow behaviors and beliefs about yourself and the world that are no longer serving you. Let’s figure this out together.

My approach is warm, genuine, and person-centered. I pull from an eclectic mix of tools. CBT helps us identify and replace dysfunctional thoughts and feelings. DBT helps us create better coping methods and build a life in which you can thrive. Psychodynamic therapy helps us get to what's under the surface, and existential theory helps us make meaning and reach acceptance.
