Finding a therapist who you trust and feel heard by can be equally as challenging. But that’s where I would like to come in! I believe in building a strong, therapeutic alliance with the children and families I work with so that they feel validated, respected, and supported. My clients describe me as involved, nonjudgmental, enthusiastic, and easy to talk to. I respect all identities, I particularly enjoy working with LGBTQ+ youth, questioning individuals, and gender nonconforming folks. I place a strong emphasis on a family approach, which means I can include caregivers in treatment to maximize the benefits of a holistic and systematic approach. My areas of clinical specialty include: child/adolescent anxiety and depression, peer and family relationships, foster care/reunification/adoption, parenting/coparenting skills, gender affirming care, ADHD and neurodivergent individuals, anger management, and maximizing healthy family functioning.
I enjoy working with LGBTQ+, gender nonconforming folks, and questioning individuals, to help them feel supported, respected, validated, and important.
First session
Client's can expect our first session to be welcoming and nonjudgmental. During our first session, we will be going over as much or as little as you'd like. My priority during our first session is get to know each other and help the client feel comfortable in session.
Strengths
I enjoy working with LGBTQ+, gender nonconforming folks, and questioning individuals, to help them feel supported, respected, validated, and important. Cultural humility and intersectionality is a defining principal in my practice, along with meeting a client where they are at. I have an interest in family relationships, attachment patterns, cycles of behaviors, and family roles/responsibilities. At times, family therapy can be a useful intervention to help break generational cycles and maximize healthy family functioning. Additionally, positive and healthy parenting skills and coparenting relationships can make a significant impact on a youth's progress and family functioning.
Ideal clients
I greatly enjoy working with children and adolescents, especially those who may be a part of the LGBTQ+ population and/or neurodivergent population. Other areas that I specialize in with youth are self-esteem difficulties, mood regulation (depression, anxiety, mood swings), blended families, foster care youth, and behavioral outbursts. Additionally, I do work with parents of LGBTQ+ youth and neurodivergent youth to support them in understanding their child and how to best support their child.
