About My Clients
You may be keeping it together on the outside—getting good grades or promotions, making friends, remembering to feed your cat—but underneath, you’re wondering why everything feels so much harder for you than it seems to be for everyone else. Maybe you’re processing a new diagnosis, questioning your identity, or feeling overwhelmed by life changes. You’re looking for someone who understands that thinking differently isn’t something to cure or fix—it’s something to embrace.
My Background and Approach
In my sessions, you can expect me to meet you wherever you are and tailor each session to your individual needs and experiences. Whether we engage in deep reflection, identify practical strategies, or create a tier list of Halloween candy, no two sessions—or clients—are the same. I use a strengths-based approach that integrates elements of ACT, CBT, and mindfulness (I’m happy to explain any of those acronyms more in our free consultation). I love incorporating creative writing and other forms of self-expression if you’re into that (personally, I’m a firm believer in writing mediocre poetry). Whether you are new to counseling or a seasoned therapy-goer, I’m honored to support you and will advocate for your needs, including referrals if necessary. I also provide adult assessments for autism and ADHD.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I value the therapeutic relationship and consider YOU the expert and me a compassionate tour guide—i.e. just another human with some extra education and training. Acknowledging systemic factors like inequality and prejudice, I provide a therapy space where you can show up as your authentic, human self, even if—especially if—you don’t have that place anywhere else in your life. I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and strive to be affirming of all identities, cultures, religious beliefs, body sizes, and abilities.
