I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner with 26 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I currently offer telehealth sessions. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, always tailoring my approach to best support you.
I believe mental health care should feel safe, respectful, and collaborative. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing happens best in an environment of trust, understanding, and genuine human connection. I work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult season or working toward deeper personal growth, I aim to meet you where you are. Above all, I am committed to creating a nonjudgmental, inclusive space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
I also specialize in providing inclusive, queer-affirming mental health care for LGBTQIAAA+ individuals. My practice is grounded in respect, cultural humility, and a deep understanding of the unique stressors and strengths within queer and gender-diverse communities. I recognize that mental health concerns often exist within broader social contexts, including experiences of discrimination, identity exploration, family dynamics, and societal pressure. Individuals often come for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity-related stress, life transitions, and challenges related to coming out, relationships, or navigating unsupportive environments. Therapy is collaborative and individualized, integrating clinical modalities with an affirming, strengths-based perspective. My goal is not to change who you are, but to support you in building a life that feels authentic, grounded, and aligned with your values.
My goal is to create sessions that are designed to feel calm, comfortable, and safe. A space where you can take a breath, slow down, and simply be yourself. New clients are met with kindness, patience, and genuine care—no pressure, no judgment, and no expectations beyond showing up as you are. Every detail is meant to help you feel supported, heard, and respected, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth. This is a space built on trust, understanding, and warmth.
