About My Clients

I have experience working with teens and young adults of all genders facing challenges like depression, anxiety, panic attacks, identity struggles, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and interpersonal conflicts. Navigating transitions like high school or college while learning about themselves and their place in the world can feel overwhelming, especially when other obstacles arise. My ideal client is ready to begin a meaningful journey toward self-discovery and personal growth.

My Background and Approach

I deeply believe in the power of genuineness and humility. Being a therapist doesn’t mean I have all the answers—after all, we’re all human. Sometimes, we simply need a space to speak freely without fear of judgment. My goal is to create that safe, supportive space where you can explore and actualize a fulfilling life on your terms. With guidance and encouragement, I aim to empower you to take ownership of the therapeutic process, because you are capable and this space is yours.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person has the fundamental right to exist as their truest self. Life’s obstacles can sometimes hinder that expression, and I strive to create a therapeutic space that helps alleviate those barriers. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand firsthand how challenging the world can be, and how much work remains for society to ensure everyone feels safe to be who they truly are. Your identity is yours to explore and develop, and therapy should be a space where you can do that comfortably and safely, especially if you lack other outlets. I will always honor your truths and meet you where you are, regardless of how you identify, because you deserve unconditional acceptance and validation.
