Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with adults navigating mood challenges, anxiety, trauma, and the pressures of everyday living. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I also offer an affirming space for those seeking support related to identity, relationships, or the unique challenges of being a part of the queer community. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or not, I am here to meet you where you are at and help you move toward a happier, healthier life.

My approach to therapy

I have over 9 years of experience in community mental health working with individuals with disabilities, on the autism spectrum, and with serious and persistent mental illnesses. I use a client-centered approach tailored to your unique needs, incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll explore your history, discuss your presenting concerns and needs, identify the goals you hope to achieve. This time is also an opportunity for us to begin building a positive and trusting relationship. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can work together to help you navigate challenges and move toward growth and healing.
