(she/her)
I use a collaborative approach with my clients to develop and work toward their personal goals. I offer a safe and inclusive space for my clients to explore their identities, relationships, needs, and desires. I have experiences working with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families in a variety of settings, but most recently in direct, outpatient counseling delivered virtually from the comfort of my clients' homes, which I love!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
If you work with me, you can expect to feel empowered, valued, and safe (and you will probably laugh some, too!). A first session together will be a mixture of getting to know each other and talking about our hopes and dreams for therapy! I can't wait to meet you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am told that I am warm, open-minded, empathic, and humorous in my sessions and as a therapist. I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community, a mother, and a feminist, and these parts of myself deeply impact my work and connection with my clients.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have specialized training in relationship counseling (including non-traditional relationships/ENM), LGBTQIA+ issues, gender identity, parent coaching, ADHD/neurodivergence, and perinatal mental health. I am a part of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, a feminist, ADHD, and a mother and I believe these parts of myself allow me to connect deeply with my clients.
