Being here proves that you can do hard things. It’s not always easy to take the next step and eat your mental health vegetables, or however you personally want to frame the idea of therapy in your mind. As a clinician, I strive to make my clients feel seen and heard no matter the reason they are seeking therapy. I enjoy working with clients from age thirteen through adults of any age on a wide variety of topics including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, grief, LGBTQIA+, and chronic health concerns/disabilities. Client-centered practice is very important to me. Additionally, I love working with folks on building and practicing coping skills. Therapy can be hard work, so I also do my best to keep things engaging while actively seeking feedback about what will make therapy meaningful to you and feel like a worthwhile use of your time. I look forward to getting to know each and every person I work with as an individual and work together on figuring out as a team the best strategies to make it through life’s unpredictable struggles. Tell me about your strengths! Spoiler alert: everyone has them, and everyone includes you. In my free time, I enjoy reading, kicking back to watch a show or movie, and listening to music.
