My approach to therapy is person-centered and focuses on identifying & building upon one’s
internal strengths, rather than deficits. I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative
partnership. Together, we work toward goals that feel authentic and meaningful to you. I offer
consistent, unconditional support while also “keeping it real” in a way that enables honesty,
growth, and connection.

Authenticity is one of my core values, and I hope that showing up as my true self
encourages a foundation of safety and trust in our work together. I respect every client’s
individual experiences, journey, culture and viewpoints and I offer a welcoming space to explore client’s concerns, goals, etc. I believe everyone carries a unique story, and sometimes life’s challenges or traumas can distort the way we understand ourselves. My goal is to help clients reframe their narratives, develop more compassionate self-talk, and navigate life’s ups and downs with greater confidence and ease. We all have inherent strengths and I strive to help clients identify, reclaim, and nurture those unique gifts.

I have extensive experience in the mental health field across a variety of settings,
working with adults of diverse backgrounds and concerns. Much of my work has
included supporting neurodivergent clients (particularly ADHD), LGBTQIA++ individuals,
folks going through difficult life transitions and women with complicated trauma. I specialize in
trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and grief. I also have a passion for working with members of the kink community and the geriatric population.
