Over the last 9 years I have worked with teens, families, and adults who have experienced depression, anxiety, grief/loss, anger issues, bipolar, PTSD, thoughts/attempts of suicide, self-harm, panic attacks, existential stress, abuse, trauma, addiction, body dysmorphia, LGBTQIA+ issues, cultural shock, interpersonal conflict, life transitions and much more.
My goal is to provide you with a safe space to process difficult things but also empower you so that you leave each session feeling a little more whole than the last. Within this space your needs come first, judgment will never be placed on you, you can be your true genuine self, and you get to choose what you want out of your treatment. My approach to therapy is warm, empathetic, and strengths based. I utilize several different modalities to best meet individuals needs but almost always incorporate some form of positive psychology and/or mindfulness to strengthen neuro-connections in the brain that influence positive thinking.

I utilize CBT and DBT techniques to assist clients in reframing thoughts that support depression and anxiety, as well as assisting in skill-building to increase one's ability to tolerate stress and distress.
As a queer-friendly counselor, I combine my experience as a counselor and energy worker to connect you back to your highest self. I work with individuals with depression, anxiety, self-harm, grief, addiction, life transitions, and identity exploration. Although my formal education and training is in traditional counseling, I have found that my clients enjoy being able to incorporate their spiritual beliefs into counseling, such as through the use of tarot, meditation, breathwork, or deep inner child work. Our souls learn important lessons through our worldly struggles, and my hope is to help you make meaning of your experiences.

My practice focuses on depression, anxiety, and self-esteem; developing healthier relationships; changing self-defeating behaviors; coming to terms with painful experiences; adjusting to transitions and losses; increasing vitality and sense of meaning in life; fighting back against shame and self-criticism; and social, political, and environmental concerns.
In my 25+ years of practice, I have seen again and again how therapy can help people move from fear, disconnection, and stuckness to aliveness, greater self-acceptance, and an increased ability to engage in healthy relationships and take effective action in the world. Ideally, therapy is a place where people can bring their full selves, without shame or judgment. I feel honored to accompany people as they take risks, open up, and make changes during our work together.
