Hey there! I'm an LCSW and psychotherapist with over 4 years of experience. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ teens and adults and people living with depression, anxiety, and the impact of trauma. I create a space where your full self is welcome—your identity, culture, feelings, and questions.
In our work, I use a warm, collaborative, and affirming approach. I lean on evidence-based tools like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing, but I keep the language down-to-earth and tailored to you—not textbook or one-size-fits-all. We’ll focus on building self-esteem, improving relationships, and strengthening skills for emotional regulation, coping with stress, and navigating the unique challenges that come your way.
In your first session, you can expect a calm, nonjudgmental conversation where we move at your pace. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in, what your life looks like right now, and what you’d like to feel different. We’ll start setting small, realistic goals and I’ll offer initial tools you can begin utilizing between sessions. By the end of that first meeting, my hope is that you feel a little more understood, a little less alone, and more hopeful that change is possible.
