Great to meet you!

Sometimes the hardest part is just being able to show up as yourself without editing anything out. I work with teens, young adults, and adults working through anxiety, stress, and big life transitions, and I have a particular focus on supporting people in the LGBTQIA+ community who want a space that feels genuinely affirming. Whether you are navigating identity, family dynamics, or just trying to feel more like yourself, I want our sessions to be a place where you do not have to perform or have it all figured out.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, we will focus on building real tools for managing anxiety and stress while also making room for deeper self exploration around identity and self worth. My approach draws on years of experience in crisis prevention, school counseling, and direct clinical care, so we ground the work in what is practical, not just theory. Clients who do well with me tend to want an integrative, down to earth approach rather than a rigid formula, and want a therapist who meets them exactly where they are. By the end of our work together, you should walk away with clearer language for what you are feeling, tools you can actually use, and a stronger sense of your own self worth.

What you can expect from me

Our first sessions together will simply be about telling your story, what feels hard right now, and what you would like to change. I will listen closely, offer gentle feedback, and we will start shaping goals that actually matter to you, at a pace that feels comfortable. If any part of this sounds like what you are looking for, I would love for you to reach out so we can start that conversation together.
