Struggle is part of life, but not something you should go through alone. Mental health issues not only cause internal challenges, but also difficulty with school, work, friends, family, and relationships. By allowing yourself to be supported we can work together to create a personalized treatment plan to best fit your goals. My therapeutic orientation is eclectic, but I integrate principles of CBT, DBT, and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy to promote problem-solving for the cultivation of individualized coping skills to gain life satisfaction. I've worked with those 5 to 65 years old but specialize in college students and young adults

I specialize in working with folks experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, religious trauma, questions of identity, grief and loss, cultural adjustment, communities and relationships, and family stress.
I believe that everyone deserves to be seen, understood, and provided room to heal and grow. Many of us carry many competing thoughts and questions, from doubts and fears, to hopes and dreams, or questions we may not feel comfortable addressing with others or even on our own. My hope is that with a genuine, unassuming, and down-to-earth approach to therapy we can foster a trusting, open, and reflective environment and explore whatever is present for you, moving towards growth and healing together.

I deeply enjoy challenging and deconstructing all flavors of shame and taboo. I work with clients to notice, give attention, and slow down when our culture encourages us to ignore, distract, and speed up. By thoughtfully exploring family patterns and our ways of being in relationship, we can come to intriguing conclusions about ourselves and others. I work with people ages 17+, and I see clients individually, as families, as sibling groups, and in all configurations of romantic relationships.
