Life is full of challenging phases, decisions, and transitions. You are the expert on your life, so only you can identify and work towards your identified goals. If you know some of your behaviors, choices, or relationships aren't working for you and you are ready for a different perspective, some new skills and ways of thinking, you’re ready for therapy. I enjoy working with a variety of clients; from young adults navigating school, career, relationships, and identity to older adults seeking to better utilize their age-earned strengths and talents.

If you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, or struggling with being your most authentic self, I can help. I’ve been working in mental health for almost 20 years with a focus on the LGBTQ+ population. I can help you make behavior changes and feel better through achievable goals, boundary setting, and awareness of your own thought patterns.

Research supports that one of the most important predictors of positive outcomes in counseling is rapport within the client-therapist relationship. I pride myself on being approachable, non-judgmental, and empathetic. I especially enjoy working with those new to counseling. You can schedule with me using my website or my contact info to the right.

In our first session, we'll talk about your history with mental health treatment; what's worked for you and what hasn't worked for you in the past. We'll also talk about what therapy is and what your expectations are. We'll get to know each other a bit, talk about what's bringing you currently and identify some of your goals for the process.
