The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting individuals of all ages. My work is grounded in creating an affirming, collaborative space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. I support clients navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, complex trauma, grief, and identity exploration. I am especially passionate about providing LGBTQ+ affirming care and helping clients process the impact of systemic and institutional oppression. My approach is integrative and individualized. I use talk therapy with adult clients and psychodynamic play therapy with children, always tailoring treatment to reflect each person’s unique experiences and goals. I also offer consultation and support for parents and caregivers of young clients. Above all, I believe my clients are the experts on their own lives. Together, we work to build insight, develop meaningful tools, and foster a deeper connection to self, so each person can move forward with intention, confidence, and purpose.
