Great to meet you!

Hi! I work collaboratively with clients to set goals & provide authentic & non-judgmental support. I've called many places home including NYC, SF, and Mexico City to name a few.

Specialties: ADHD, Trauma/Generational Trauma, Identity, LGBTQIA+, Grief/Bereavement, & Relationship Issues.

Education: Masters in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Drama Therapy, Bachelor's in Theatre Performance & Psychology.

My approach to therapy

  1. Direct & collaboratively: Let's work together to create an overall therapeutic experience that's natural & makes sense to you.
  2. Integrative Style: I pull from a wide variety of theories and modalities so that we are using what is relevant to you.
  3. Non-judgemental Accountability: We are our own worst critics. I'm not here to add to that. I'm here to help you actually make the changes you've been wanting to make and have struggled to do so.

What you can expect from me

Aside from some funky analogies and/or metaphors along with the occasional dad joke, clients can expect to leave sessions feeling seen, heard, respected, and cared for.
