Great to meet you!

I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Couples, Family Therapy, Grief and Loss, Anger Management, Feedback Informed Care, LGBTQIA+, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar, DID, Kinks, and Complex Trauma. My style/approach is a fit for teens and adults who may be dealing with challenges in their lives, both personally and professionally. These challenges may manifest as anxiety, depression, guilt, and anger.

My approach to therapy

I help my clients navigate these difficult periods by building healthier coping skills and strategies. My communication style is empathic, supportive, and firm but gentle. I utilize humor to help the individual feel comfortable and provide a safe space for them to share their experiences free from judgment.

What you can expect from me
