I believe that the therapeutic space should be a place to center your feelings and story. For young people in particular, it can be so powerful to know that stories matter, that there is space for big feelings, and that agency over emotions is possible. In this space, we will work together to build a trusting relationship, grow, and heal. I identify as queer and primarily work with youth and adolescents in the LGBTQ community and individuals impacted by trauma. I center my therapeutic work in trauma-informed approaches and building a space of safety within the four walls (or the video session!) of therapy.

Oftentimes we feel like it’s impossible to beat these patterns, to feel truly confident, to break free. And it impacts our daily lives in more ways than we know. These problems can make you hide, minimize, and suppress yourself. They can make you live below your full potential.

As a therapist, I believe our lives are made up of relationships - relationship with others, with the world around us, and with ourselves. When we feel "out of whack," this is one sign that at least one of these relationships needs our attention. Therapy is an excellent avenue to examine and explore these connections. My practice is rooted in client-centered approaches. While I use cognitive behavioral, motivational, and mindfulness-based techniques - each session is tailored to meet you right where you are that day. My hope is that you feel safe and affirmed during all interactions.
