As a clinician, I aim to be a point of guidance, trust, and support for the communities and individuals who need it most. I work with individuals to help cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem, substance use, and more. I work with a wide range of clients, from adolescents to adults, to help them move through life's challenges with understanding, compassion, and the confidence they need. I utilize techniques including CBT and Motivational Interviewing, while keeping a focus on harm reduction and trauma informed care. I hope to provide a warm, non-judgmental and empathetic space for all the clients I work with.

Don't let TikTok be your only therapist. It's easy to fall into a rabbit hole trying to figure out "what's wrong" with us when in reality, we just need to better understand our individual needs, boundaries, and desires. There's nothing wrong with you, I promise. Therapy can offer tools, support, and accountability to find peace and understanding, and help you feel like yourself again. Life gets murky and confusing at times. If you struggle to feel authentic in your relationship, job, family, or are just having trouble adjusting to a new phase of life, let's talk about it! Saying things out loud can be tremendously relieving.

Welcome to my profile! To better get to know me, here’s a little about me and my practice. My approach is client centered, so making sure that the space is supportive, collaborative, and holistic is important when building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I like to use strength-based approaches which include learning problem solving skills, understanding current unhealthy coping while replacing them with healthy manageable skills, and using grounding techniques to help center us when we are under stress. I work with individuals with various identities and backgrounds who are having interpersonal, and intrapersonal issues;
