About My Clients

I believe that you are the foremost expert on your own experiences, and I know how difficult it can be to find a therapist who feels like the right fit. While my professional interests are LGBTQ+ identities, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and college transitions, I welcome all teens and adults with a warm, playful, and encouraging style.

My Background and Approach

Together, we’ll discuss your unique past experiences, and discover how they influence you in the present and can lead to new choices and new outcomes in the future. I hope to help you create meaningful changes, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of self by focusing on your strengths and using a blend of different therapeutic styles that best match your individual personality and needs. My approach is integrative, strength-based, and client-centered. I am an AFAB trans/nonbinary person, and spent most of my life socialized as female. Because of this, I personally still feel very connected to women's/femmes' experiences and see much of the world through this lens. My work is informed by my own experiences with mental health, as well as my other marginalized identities and increasing privilege/perception as a white masculine-presenting person.
