My passion as a therapist is working with adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, ADD/ADHD, stress management, and depression/self harm. I am also passionate about offering LGBTQ+ affirming care. Whether you’re 13 or 30, I want you to know that your voice matters! I will emphasize a supportive and safe environment utilizing my experience, education from Xavier University, and continued training to support your needs.
I believe that the client’s sense of safety and connection are the foundations of a successful therapeutic relationship. I prioritize the client’s comfort level regarding pace, feedback and desired outcomes. I hope that those who walk through my door can be challenged and given the tools they need to succeed while feeling accepted and supported.
Starting during the first session, I aim to foster an environment of open communication, support and rapport that will continue throughout the duration of our sessions. I will guide clients through questions to help develop a picture of what brought them into therapy and to set some personal goals. There is no pressure to say the “right” thing, as every person’s therapy journey is different.
