Being a teen is tough enough, but it can feel nearly impossible when you add anxiety, family conflict, or trauma. Or maybe you've been made to feel like an outsider because of your identities. I welcome young people ages 10-19, particularly LGBTQIA+ kids and teens, kids/teens of color, and kids/teens with chronic illness or disabilities. No matter what brings you here, I will partner with you as you discover your unique strengths and resources for growth.
Therapy doesn't have to be be boring or intimidating; it can be fun! Engaging conversations, expressive arts activities, writing prompts, games, and hands-on skills spark growth and change in my therapy sessions. You are the expert, and your voice, experiences, and goals take center stage in therapy with me.
I promise that your whole self is welcome with me. I promise I will listen without judgment, and hold space for whatever you're going through. I'll do my best to understand your experiences, while knowing I can never truly walk in your shoes. You've taken the first step by researching therapists; if you think we'd be a good fit, please send me an email!

I primarily practice Narrative Therapy, which is dedicated to understanding the stories people hold about what is significant in their lives. I incorporate aspects of DBT skills, which can help soothe and ground folks when they're overwhelmed. I also use Mindfulness-based skills and expressive arts activities in session.
