Accepting new clients for virtual afternoon appointments! Searching for a therapist is difficult, especially while trying to navigate the challenges that brought you here, so I commend you for taking this huge step towards working on your mental health. Living in a state of fight/flight, fear, anxiety, stress, uncertainty, and instability can wreak havoc on the mind and body. Therapy with me means you'll have the chance to gain deeper understandings, insights, and perspectives into what is going on, how to work with various stuck parts of yourself, how to recognize your own power and choices, and how to process difficult feelings.
I focus on working with adolescents and young adults experiencing trauma and anxiety. I also love working with LGBTQIA+ folks, teachers, and healthcare workers. I mostly work from an existential approach and incorporate various therapeutic modalities. I have supplemental training in trauma-informed counseling, IFS (not certified, however), and DBT.
I personally understand just how difficult, yet rewarding, this process can be. My biggest goal as a therapist is to make sure I create a safe, unconditionally supportive, judgement free space for you to process, be yourself, and experience genuine connection. My hope is that this is an empowering process for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today!

I approach anxiety and trauma work in a curious and gentle way, with emphasis on safely and slowly expanding tolerance to feel emotions. The goal is to process these emotions out in a way that may not have been possible in the past. We will break down protective/defensive parts of self, explore belief systems, and deeply examine how much power and choice you have in cultivating a peaceful life.

I primarily use a relational, trauma-informed, insight-oriented approach. From there, I mostly incorporate IFS (parts work), somatic/nervous system work, DBT, and existentialism. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, and I highly value being able to adapt to what works best for you. I believe there is no "right or wrong" way to do therapy, and we may approach things in an exploratory way.
