Looking for a new, fresh experience in your therapeutic journey? Don't know where to start? Overwhelmed by all the choices out there? It's okay—that's something we can discover together! I love working with teens and adults who are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, and I'm passionate about the LGBTQIA+ and Black communities, as well as college students and veterans. I believe I have something to offer every person that walks through my doors.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a person-centered approach and an array of techniques and interventions to help you. Additionally, I am flexible in how our sessions may occur; the amount of guidance you feel most comfortable with in a session is up to you, and I will adjust accordingly to make the experience as smooth as necessary.
To me, therapy is about having a place to tell your story and experience as the expert in your life—I'm here to help link pieces from your experiences together to help you find your way forward, one step at a time!
