I have experience working with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ issues, mood disorders, relationship challenges, work/school/life stress, and self-esteem.

Taking the first step toward personal growth through therapy is a profound act of courage. With the right support, I believe everyone has the capability to heal, grow, and thrive in ways that align with their unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, authentic, and empowering space where clients feel heard and understood, helping them to process past or present challenges and build confidence for the future. I have experience working with a wide range of presenting concerns, including but not limited to: anxiety, trauma, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ issues, mood disorders, relationship challenges, work/school/life stress, and self-esteem. I take a pragmatic, multi-modal, and humanistic approach to therapy, which includes integrating person-centered, attachment-based, CBT, and family-systems perspectives. Recognizing that every individual is the expert on their own life, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs with openness, respect, and adaptability.
