My approach as integrative, using different techniques and perspectives to address each individual's unique needs. I frequently use relational, psychodynamic, and existential practices. I work to create an nonjudgmental, accepting, and supportive space. My job is to listen and honor your experience. Therapy is a collaborative space where we will be a team addressing your personal needs and concerns. Awareness of our own experience offers us power and knowledge over our choices, giving us the ability to move through life with intentionality and lay a foundation to face whatever comes next. Our conversations in therapy can allow you
I personally identify as a queer and neurodivergent provider and offer supportive services to others in those communities. I also have experience working within healthcare professional, graduate students, and anyone going through a life transition, big or small.
If anything written above feels aligned with your needs and values, I look forward to hearing from you and joining you on your therapeutic journey!

I would describe my practice as typical "talk therapy", where we come together to discuss and explore what is on your mind. I believe insight and awareness into one's own experience are powerful tools to learn your needs, boundaries, and build agency in your life. I also often use attachment-based, trauma focused, and mindfulness based approaches frequently.
