My passion is working with clients age 13-18 as well as young & early adults. I love to work to empower clients, build insight, heal relationships & provide practical tools for clients to use as they develop into young adulthood. I use family therapy for family system work. My other client focus is on victims of sexual exploitation including victims of Human Trafficking & sexual abuse. I incorporate the dynamics of race & ethnicity into my practice and like to work with people from these marginalized populations & addressing how these factors impact treatment and resilience. My ideal client is motivated and committed to treatment.

Welcome to my profile! My goals are to help clients navigate difficult seasons of life, manage complex emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and live a meaningful life. My therapeutic style is direct, open, and collaborative. I am passionate about respecting diversity, and I provide LGBTQ+, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed care. In sessions, I like to use a blend of mindfulness-based interventions like DBT and ACT paired with an unstructured use of CBT and solutions-focused therapy. I also like to include activities using art, music, and play.

I enjoy working with teens and young adults to improve self-confidence, self-esteem, and goals. I specialize in issues of adjusting, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, fears, and stress management. Through stages of early development, it becomes easy to create unrealistic expectations. This leads to stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, burn-out, etc. You are seen and whether you meet those expectations or not, they effect, you, they effect us. How can we manage trauma, stress, finding self?

If you are feeling anxious, stuck, or having trouble adjusting to change you are not alone! Have you wished to feel more peaceful and accomplish things that matter to you? Are you for hoping for change in days ahead? Maybe you are trying to heal from trauma and feel stronger inside or more sure of yourself. You might want to develop or strengthen relationships and not hide from life experiences, but this feels overwhelming right now. If you have always felt a little different, identify as neurodiverse, or experienced emotional abuse or emotional neglect in relationships with parents, bosses, partners, or friends therapy could help.
