Let’s face it, if you’re reading this you are struggling. I work with children (8 and up), teens, and young adults. I most often support clients with managing depression, anxiety, high sensitivity and other forms of neurodivergence, or who are navigating change and learning about self and identity (including gender and sexuality). Do you need to get to know yourself or practice a new skill? To work through shame and give yourself permission to do you? Life can be hard and sometimes you need extra support. Good for you for being brave and reaching out! I am here to help.
I love including creative and holistic approaches into talk therapy, including art, writing, tarot/oracle cards, and breath-work practices. Yes, we'll talk, and yes, we'll get creative. Or if you prefer to just talk, that’s fine too. Clients who work with me appreciate these things combined with my compassionate and down-to-earth approach.
We cannot heal what we’ve not yet felt, and we can’t create new habit loops until we feels safe to do so. Therapy, and the therapeutic relationship, is a space to find that safety and the courage to move forward. Please reach out when you are ready, I can’t wait to meet you.

I work from an affirming lens which treats all aspects of identity as inherently valuable, whether it is cultural, familial, gender, sexuality, or neurodivergent, and considers the ways that lack of affirmation in other contexts impacts self-worth and motivation. In session we'll call on the strengths that you bring to the table and begin to retell the stories you tell yourself about who you are.

I utilize Narrative, Relational, Feminist, and Somatic frameworks in my practice. What does this mean, you ask? It means that therapy utilizes your strengths, values, and nervous system as anchor points. It understands that we are all navigating the stories we tell about ourselves and the world, and that these are rooted in our relationships and our social-cultural contexts.
