Life is complex and constantly changing. Therapy is a space to build yourself up from your core, without judgment. I work with people of all identities, though the majority of my clients are members of the LGBTQI community. I've worked with my client's to process: depression, anxiety, PTSD, explore gender identity, sexuality, improve interpersonal skills (communication, boundary setting), anger management, grief, career/academic support and other life changes that you just need to talk about.

My practice combines CBT, REBT, DBT and IFS, through an anti-oppressive lens.
