About My Clients

I provide individual therapy to kids (6+), teens, and adults via telehealth. People that see me are typically dealing with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, OCD, grief, stress, perinatal/postpartum, and life changes.

My Background and Approach

I have previously worked in a hospital setting, working in the NICU and the Oncology Center. Since that time, I have been providing outpatient mental health care in person and online. In sessions with me, I aim to bring warmth, creativity, and flexibility into sessions—letting you guide the process while I offer support and direction when needed. In our work together, we’ll take time to understand your story, set goals that matter to you, and move at a pace that feels right. I enjoy bring in art and other activities into sessions if that is something that is interesting to you. Some common projects that I have previously done in sessions includes painting, drawing, coloring, sewing, paper crafts, legos, building, and beading. My hope is that therapy becomes a safe, steady place for you to breathe and grow.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in creating a space rooted in social justice, equity, and inclusion, where every person feels respected and empowered. I am committed to continuing to learn and grow, especially around identities and experiences that are different than my own. I believe that therapy should be a place where every person feels safe and respected. I welcome all identities and experiences!
