I love working with clients who are going through the difficult parts of life and need some help figuring out how to handle it all. Whether that difficult experience is figuring out college and careers, navigating relationships, or just simply the stress that comes from the day-to-day, I approach my clients' problems without judgment. My clients tend to get the best outcomes when they can work with me to figure out what they would like to achieve in therapy and commit to enacting change, whether big or small, outside of sessions.
I am most experienced working with anxiety, depression, and navigating stressful life transitions. I have worked for several years with college students/young adults and the LGBTQ+ community, which I am a part of. I tend to practice from the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches.
Both as a therapist and as a client in therapy myself, I understand how intimidating it can be to take that first step. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out so that I can answer them.
