Here to Help You Heal
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and psychotherapist with 12 years of experience, I help individuals and families cultivate and maintain healthy relationships with themselves, with other people, and with the world around them. I am especially passionate about self and life development for tweens, teens, and young adults.
I specialize in treating mood/anxiety disorders, as well as identity, relational, and life adjustment work. My approach is trauma-informed, social systems-informed, neuro-affirming, and personalized – one size most definitely does not fit at all. Through a customized approach to care, I help you feel safe, hopeful, connected, and worthy as you move throughout the world.
My Approach to Care
I am consistently in awe of the resilience and courage that I see from patients, which is why I remain committed to bringing unconditional compassion and nonjudgment to each session to hold space for these strengths. In our time together, you are assured a safe environment that empowers you to grow utilizing an eclectic therapeutic approach: I use person-centered psychodynamic therapy to help you gain insight from sorting through your experiences, as well as more concrete tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for coping and emotion regulation. Therapy proceeds only at your pace of comfort.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist began with co-founding a summer music camp for girls, non-binary, and trans youth. There, I mentored groups of campers, helping them to compose and perform an original song in one week – an activity that invariably led campers to be vulnerable with peers, letting deep emotions out, and working through conflicts with each other. This experience deepened my commitment to providing a safe space for people to express themselves and their emotions.
Personal Interests
When I’m not seeing patients, I’m enjoying one of my many varied hobbies! I love learning new things while honing my artistic skills and knowledge, from arts and crafts, and playing guitar or keyboards to true crime and mythology. I’m also a big fan of animals, especially dogs.
