If you want to feel more content, improve your relationships and manage life transitions, we can work together to develop awareness, build resilience & create balance to meet your goals, and feel better. I work with young adults, & adults managing depression, anxiety, trauma, loss & interpersonal conflicts. I provide a safe space for LGBTQ concerns, whether you or someone close to you identifies. My specialties include identity support, parents of LGBTQ children, couples, family building, and parenting.
My therapeutic approach is warm and supportive. Together, we will focus on enhancing self-awareness, strengthening resilience, and identifying strategies to manage life stressors and shift patterns. No matter what you are facing, I provide a place of reflection to connect, heal and create lasting change.
Finding a therapist you trust and connect with is the foundation to creating change in therapy. I’m here to support you no matter what challenges you are facing. I am a board-certified art therapist and use the creative process when it makes sense for the client.
