Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

My style is often informal; caring and relaxed, but firm when needed. According to my patients, I am a "sarcastic dork who tells people what they need to hear." Previous patients have told me that they like me as a therapist because I "don't act like a typical therapist." In my spare time I enjoy playing video games (Xbox and Switch), cooking, and binge-watching Marvel movies with my pet birds/floofy marshmallows, Penny and Oz.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

After working in college and residential settings, I have learned that it is often best to be direct with my clients. During sessions, everything I say is said with the love and care that my clients deserve, but I am not known to "sugarcoat." I find that once we put a direct mirror up to the toughest parts of ourselves and look at it with honesty, we are truly able to make change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I consider myself experienced in working with young people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and members of kink and poly communities. I have eclectic experience as a therapist having worked with folks ages 10 and up on concerns including relationships, intimate partner violence, sexuality, and self esteem.
