About My Clients

Are you struggling to feel safe inside your own mind? Do you feel like your thoughts are always critical and racing? Do you feel like the floor could be pulled out from under you any minute? Understanding yourself better is possible by taking this first step towards support. You are taking a brave step by beginning your healing journey right where you are. I am excited to explore new tools with you to help you unwind your mind and learn to trust your own voice again.

My Background and Approach

It is important to me to prioritize meeting you where you are at, rather than trying to make something fit that is not meant to. I believe in a process-based support model, which will allow us to center what you are hoping to address without too much structure. Together we can build an integrative practice that uplifts a variety of tangible coping skills. In our session time, I hope to laugh together, learn more about each other, and prioritize casual comfort. I am excited to work alongside you. By looking for support, you are taking a brave step towards prioritizing your needs. Being open to vulnerability with ourselves is hard, so I will always be here to cheer you on along the way.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we are all capable of change, growth, and self-compassion. I believe we should all have access to safe and brave spaces where we can be our most authentic selves. As a queer clinician, I know how important it is to feel accepted and cared for in therapeutic spaces. It's my goal to help you build a toolbox of support skills that you feel capable using in order to care for yourself better.
