Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. You might worry if you will be accepted for who you are, or be able to trust them with your story without feeling judged. These are real concerns, and reaching out takes courage. I’m here to offer a safe, LGBTQ+-affirming space where you can feel heard, supported, and free to be yourself. My specialty centers on individual therapy with adults and adolescents, ages 16 and up, including in-person and telehealth sessions. I also have extensive experience supporting teens and adults navigating coping with ADHD, mood and anxiety issues, and pet loss.

Together, we’ll explore the challenges you're facing, identify what matters most to you, and create a path toward healing and growth. Your journey truly matters to me, and I would be honored to support you along the way. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a session, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here and look forward to the opportunity to work together.

I take a warm and collaborative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and drawing from Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to create a safe and evidence-based space to work toward meaningful change. Goal setting, challenging negative thoughts and beliefs, motivation to change, relaxation, grounding, and mindfulness are just some of the tools I teach to help you cope with anxiety, depression, and feeling overwhelmed.

Before becoming a licensed professional counselor, I was a news features writer for weekly publications. Interviewing people from different backgrounds, each with a story to tell, helped to develop my listening skills. Similarly, working as contact tracer during the COVID-19 pandemic offered an experience that deepened my empathy and commitment to helping others. I incorporate these unique perspectives into my practice now, ensuring openness and authenticity in every session, which helps me be an effective and supportive collaborator at all times.

When I’m not in session, I’m most often enjoying my hobbies and passions, including knitting, cats, and reading, especially mysteries and psychological thrillers.
