Navigating life's challenges doesn't have to be done alone. Finding a therapist who fits you can create a supportive therapeutic alliance towards empowerment, resilience, and developing effective strategies. I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor who is committed to creating a safe, inclusive space for self-discovery and personal growth. I value providing care that is trauma informed, facilitates healthy relationship dynamics, and is LGBTQ+ affirming.
I specialize in working with clients ages preteens to adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and grief. I'm dedicated to working with clients from a variety of backgrounds who are looking for a gentle, collaborative approach to therapy.
If you are ready to embark on this transformative journey, I welcome you to schedule an initial consultation. Email is the best way to reach me!
