I am a compassionate therapist with six years of experience providing outpatient therapy to adolescents and adults. My focus is on helping clients navigate life stressors, their identity, anxiety, depression, and trauma, using a tailored approach that integrates various therapeutic techniques to best support each individual's needs. I believe in meeting clients where they are, building a trusting, collaborative relationship, and creating a safe space for growth and healing. Whether through CBT, DBT, mindfulness practices, or trauma-informed approaches, I work alongside clients to help them develop effective tools for managing life's challenges and improving their overall well-being. I understand that making decisions about your needs can be overwhelming, especially when there are so many options out there. It's important to feel confident and supported every step of the way. If you have any questions or simply want to explore how we can work together, I’d love to hear from you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we will go over all practice policies and begin exploring your current needs. This will assist us with establishing a plan of action to address your specified needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have worked for 6 years with children, adolescents, and adults. Through my work I have developed a person centered approach that allows me to meet clients where they are at, explore factors contributing to your current concerns, and create plans tailored to their specific needs.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are currently experiencing major life changes, mood concerns, or interpersonal difficulties. I have experience supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ identifying clients. I also have experience supporting these clients through their experiences with depression, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and with navigating their trauma related symptoms.
