I work with teens and adults navigating a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, identity exploration, and emotional regulation. I’m especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse individuals and strive to create a welcoming and affirming environment for all. Whether you're working through a specific issue or seeking general support, I’m here to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and connected.

My approach to therapy is person-centered and strengths-based, meaning I focus on your individual experiences and the inner resilience you already have. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering support, tools, and insight tailored to your goals. I prioritize building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a safe, affirming space where you can feel truly seen and heard. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care, I work collaboratively to help you overcome challenges, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

I value and respect the role that faith, spirituality, and holistic practices may play in a person’s healing journey. I’m open to integrating your personal beliefs and values into therapy in a way that aligns with your goals and sense of identity. My approach is always rooted in cultural humility and a commitment to honoring the whole person.

I provide traditional ongoing therapy sessions that are typically 50–55 minutes in length, these sessions are scheduled weekly, bi-weekly or as often as scheduling allows and is needed.

I offer evening and weekend therapy session, by appointment only.

When working with teens, I focus on building trust and offering a safe space for self-expression, emotional exploration, and personal growth. I use age-appropriate, strengths-based approaches to help teens manage stress, build self-confidence, and navigate the unique challenges of adolescence. I also support families and caregivers as partners in the process, when helpful and appropriate.

What makes me unique is my background in both mental health counseling and over a decade of experience in the broader health and human services field. This foundation allows me to view each client through a holistic lens—understanding not only the emotional, but also the physical and systemic factors that impact well-being. I bring empathy, patience, and a calm presence to every session, and I’m deeply committed to providing inclusive, affirming care for adults, teens, LGBTQIA+ clients, and neurodiverse individuals. My goal is always to meet you where you are, support your growth, and empower you to build a life that feels meaningful and authentic.

Grief can take many forms, and healing is rarely a linear process. I offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can process your grief—whether it stems from the loss of a loved one, a life change, or an evolving identity. Together, we’ll honor your experience and work toward finding peace, resilience, and new meaning at your own pace.

I meet you where you are and develop a comprehensive plan that suits your goals. Using known methods, best practices and evidence based therapies, I teach, provide skills, remind you of your resilience & strengths, become curious, consult, counsel and provide therapy for symptoms that interfere with your happiness and day to day life.

Our first session is a chance to begin getting to know each other and to create a foundation of safety and understanding. We’ll start by reviewing the service agreement, informed consent, and other important information about your rights and confidentiality.

After that, we’ll begin a comprehensive assessment to better understand your needs, strengths, and goals. This process helps us clarify what’s been happening in your life and how I can best support you moving forward.

Although the assessment will have some structure, you are welcome to share at your own pace — there’s no rush. The goal of this first meeting is to start building a collaborative partnership focused on your healing and growth.
