Currently accepting new clients. I am driven to work with clients who are struggling with anything from their mental health to confusion or concerns with their identity. I, as your therapist, will meet you where you are in your mental health journey, no matter if our scheduled session together is your first experience in therapy or if you are well acquainted with the therapy process. I know that you contain the solutions to your concerns and my aim is not to "fix you", because you are not broken, but to aid you in finding the strength that always existed within you.
I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety, individuals who are struggling with a transitional period in their lives, and clients who are facing confusion regarding their gender, sexual, or personal identity.
Please feel free to contact me or my office to schedule an appointment to meet with me for therapy services. Never see yourself or your needs as a burden. I am honored to be given the opportunity to assist you and help you feel the best you can be. If your insurance is not listed below for the insurances I take, please call to inquire about coverage.

We will start services by completing an intake assessment where you will have the opportunity to share what you wish to work on in therapy. From there, we will create a treatment plan where we establish reasonable goals for treatment. Our first few sessions will likely be spent with me getting to know you and your history, with further sessions being more focused on specific concerns.

I often use cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions with my clients, as well as a person centered approach. Depending on your specific needs, we may utilize other interventions or therapy types, which I am happy to discuss with you at any time. With CBT, we will take a look at your thoughts, what has shaped them, how they affect your emotions, and ways to cultivate a healthier mind space.
