I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I want to empower you to develop your strengths in a safe space.

I'm passionate about supporting students. My practice is based on the person-centered principles of unconditional acceptance and respect. Each client is different, and I will work with you to tailor treatment based on your needs and preferences. I will also seek to understand your intersecting identities and experiences. Whatever brings you to therapy, I’m here to listen and support you–whether you’re trying to make a big decision, struggling with family or relationship dynamics, feeling stuck in patterns and moods that no longer serve you, or ready to process some trauma or grief. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders. I am trained in using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help people heal from trauma and other kinds of life experiences. I enjoy supporting students who are trying to understand who they are and where they are going during this important phase of their life.
