About My Clients

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and major life changes. Many clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. I provide an affirming space where you can feel understood, supported, and gently challenged as we work toward your goals. Together, we’ll build tools and insights to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My Background and Approach

Since 2020, I’ve supported clients through life transitions, mood disorders, and identity exploration. My work is rooted in compassion, evidence-based practice, and a belief in therapy as a collaborative process. I primarily use client-centered and CBT approaches, while integrating other modalities to meet your needs. Sessions are tailored to your pace and priorities whether we’re building coping skills, reframing unhelpful thoughts, or processing difficult experiences. My goal is to help you feel grounded, understood, and empowered to create lasting change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe growth is possible at any stage in life. As an LGBTQ+ community member and advocate, I’m committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space for all identities. My work is guided by empathy, authenticity, and social justice, and I believe therapy should be accessible and stigma-free. I value meeting each client with openness and curiosity, honoring both their challenges and strengths. Outside of work, I enjoy running, spending time with my dog and friends, and connecting with my community in Richmond.
