My Ideal Client

I enjoy working with teens, individuals, and families. We would be a good fit if you’re looking for support dealing with: traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood instability, family therapy, parent-child relationship challenges, ADHD, teen support, domestic violence, generational and/or historical racism, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC populations.

My Approach to Helping

I enjoy working with teens, adults, and families. We would be a good fit if you are motivated to do your own therapeutic work while I support your process of growth. We would also be a good fit if you’re looking for support dealing with: traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood instability, family therapy, parent-child relationship challenges, ADHD, teen support, domestic violence, generational and/or historical racism, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC populations. My approach is trauma informed, inclusive, collaborative, and focused on creating a genuine, welcoming, safe relationship and environment to support you in whatever areas of growth, understanding, and change you would like to see and experience in your life. Telling your story when you feel safe to do so is one way for you to offer healing to yourself and something I would enjoy being able to support you in doing.

Why I Became a Therapist

I became a therapist because when I went to therapy for the first time as a young adult, it was life changing for me. Finally having someone who not only understood my symptoms and what was going on with me but someone who also offered objective perspective on my traumatic experiences and their impacts on me, was absolutely life changing. I believe there is some healing in therapeutic work for anyone who may want or need it.
