Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA)
As of 4/14 I am accepting new clients! I offer telehealth and in-person appointments and I welcome students with a range of concerns!
Taking the step to begin therapy is a courageous choice, one that most of us take when we find ourselves struggling with the people around us and with ourselves. I approach therapy with a focus on forming a strong relationship between us, so that we can explore new possibilities for change. I specialize in working with queer and trans clients, people healing from sexual violence or other forms of trauma, and people struggling to understand the impact of their upbringing on their lives today. I enjoy working with autistic clients, people struggling with anxiety, and people struggling with romantic relationships or friendships.
