I specialize in working with adolescents and adults of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. I have particular experience providing gender-affirming therapy and supporting clients as they explore and celebrate their gender identities. My goal is to help you build a meaningful life by identifying and embracing your authentic self.
Compassion and social justice are at the center of my practice. My approach is collaborative, curious, strengths-based, and playful. As we confront your experiences of suffering or injustice, you will find me both empathetic and irreverent: there is strength in humor and in sincerity.
Drawing from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), I emphasize teaching coping skills that will empower you to confront life's many challenges with dignity and integrity.
In our first sessions, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we clarify what brought you or your teen to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. I firmly believe therapy should be a place where clients feel seen, valued, and understood, and I encourage you to reflect on whether this feels true after our first meeting.
