Licensed Mental Health Counselor
No matter your reason for starting therapy, I am honored to be a part of your journey toward better understanding yourself.
Personal Approach
I believe authenticity, trust, and collaboration are essential to create a space to feel safe to explore and better understand yourself. Together we'll find a tailored, holistic approach that works best for you, often using CBT, ACT, Narrative, Psychodynamic, and Somatic therapies to help identify the roots of challenges and make the changes needed to help you feel aligned with who you want to be.
Professional Background
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with clients ranging in age from teens through late adulthood. I am passionate about serving the LGBTQIA+ community, often working with individuals experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self esteem, relationship struggles, neurodivergence, and the everyday challenges of being a human.
