My ultimate aim is to help you build a life worth living. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain insight into patterns, and cultivate change. When reading fantasy books, binge watching TV shows/anime, getting tattoos, and video games are not enough, let's chat! We'll work towards building essential skills, enhancing self-awareness, and improving your life quality.
I utilize interventions from Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness in my work with clients. I can provide letters of support for gender affirming medical treatments and assist in adjustment.
Life has its ups and downs. Let's work through it together. Office hours: Monday through Thursday 10am - 6pm.
