My pronouns are she/her/hers. I live in New York State and am licensed to provide therapy in both California and New York. I am proudly public school educated, and obtained my Masters Degree from San Francisco State University in 2011. My experience includes work in substance abuse treatment settings as well as at a large state university and a small liberal arts college. In my free time, I enjoy most outdoor activities, travel, live music, and celebrity gossip.
With over a decade of experience working with adults in therapy, I combine the skills and knowledge I have gained as a therapist with a genuine interest and curiosity in getting to know you as a person, and tailoring our work to your specific wants and needs. My areas of professional interest include working with college students of any age, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, identity exploration, and grief and loss.
Previous clients have described me as warm and caring, and have said that they felt comfortable opening up to me. At first, I may ask a number of questions to get a good sense of who you are and why you are seeking support. From there, we can work together to determine our areas of focus for therapy and what you hope to get out of the experience. I believe that the most important part of therapy is the connection formed, and your ability to feel heard and understood in our sessions.
