My clients are often facing a significant loss, grief, trauma, or significant life transition (divorce, job loss, illness). Often they are experiencing anxiety, stress or depression. I will work to understand your unique story and to increase awareness, deepen understanding, and support progress towards your personal goals. I primarily work with young adults (17+), adults and elders from all cultural, racial and religious backgrounds. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex positive.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

When you work with me we will work together as a team to help you gain the knowledge and skills to help you be successful in the future. In my graduate program I got a lot of experience working with neuroqueer clients from a range of youth to older adults. I have worked with those who have had a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism as well as those who are newly diagnosed and figuring out their new identity as a neurodivergent individual.
I provide treatment for adults in a safe, confidential environment for mental health issues. In today's world, anxiety, depression and life changes can be difficult to cope with. Talking with a professional can help. My therapy services also include treatment for process addictions such as internet, gaming and pornography overuse, as well as the challenges of Adult Children of Alcoholics and persons with addiction.
