About My Clients

Through these multidimensional experiences, I've specialized in the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance use, complex grief, and burnout - areas that I like to call my jam. I enjoy working with adolescents and emerging adults. Other areas close to my heart are working with the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodiverse individuals and creatives.

My Background and Approach

This isn't just a job for me; it's a privilege and an honor. Therapy is about creating a safe and affirming space where you can unpack thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I bring a blend of therapeutic approaches to the table - from the structured realms of CBT and DBT to the creative and experiential concepts of the psychodynamic all the while utilizing an attachment-based and trauma-informed lens. Life isn't neatly contained within a therapeutic hour so I incorporate systems, developmental and feminist theory as well. My approach is gentle, hopeful and harm reductionist.
