I have experience working with people who are neurodivergent or have a disability and who struggle with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. My goal is to provide a safe supportive space for clients to process emotions that come with disabilities, both personally and for loved ones. I have worked in an eating disorder clinic where I practiced the techniques of intuitive eating and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. My experience as a special education high school teacher led me to pursue a career in counseling. I am passionate about advocating for students and their families.

Feeling tired of your current therapist? Or just stuck? Let's get real – life can be tough. It’s especially hard on ambitious people, parents & perfectionists who are expected to have it all together. The more successful you are (or are expected to be), the more difficult it is to keep it all together. Add anxiety, depression, & relationship issues – forget it. And the more that you achieve, the harder it becomes to find a therapist at your level or solutions that work for your complex issues. But I'm not here to hand out generic advice or quick fixes. I'm here to help you uncover the root of your challenges & build lasting changes.

I approach therapy through a holistic lens that emphasizes self-discovery and growth while also recognizing the complexity and uniqueness of each individual. The human experience is a complicated one but doesn’t have to be done alone. As such, I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and bring my authentic self to create a supportive and inclusive environment that empowers clients to bring their most authentic selves too. By providing LGBTQ+ affirming services and striving to implement cultural competency, I hope to assist all individuals to cope and heal through the challenges of life and working towards wellness.

I love working with clients who are motivated to change their lives for the better, but may be struggling with how to take the next step and need additional support. Many of us have been pushed to our limits in the past few years, and I feel honored to accompany my clients on their healing journeys.
