Life is unpredictable and can be difficult to navigate alone- and that is why I became a mental health therapist! I provide coping skills, talk-therapy, and other techniques (catered to each individual) to allow for a safe-space to explore emotions and process what is going on. I am a huge advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and yearn to build a safe and easily accessible space for anyone who needs a little extra support.
I provide genuine, unbiased, and supportive therapy to clients from all backgrounds. I work most closely with the LGBTQ+ community, anxiety, and depression. The most important aspect in therapy is the relationship that is built between the therapist and the client. I conduct each session with the knowledge that the client is the expert of their lives.
I would love to schedule a 15-minute phone call to introduce myself in more detail and answer any questions that may arise.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma related to their relationships and/or family. The beginning sessions will consist of building rapport and diving deeper into the issues at hand. Typical treatment includes talk-therapy, CBT techniques, and coping skills. Most of my clients experience an increase in self-efficacy within the first few months.

I often use Person-Centered Therapy in my practice. PCT focuses on the therapist providing unconditional positive regard and support while allowing the client to feel safe to dive deeper into the reasons that brought them to therapy. Additionally, this allows for the clients' self-efficacy to increase. After rapport is built, I will take an eclectic approach that best serves the issues at hand.
