About My Clients

I work best with adolescents, young adults, and couples. I have the most experience working with mood disorders, including anxiety and depression. I am also trained in trauma, so I see everything through a trauma lens. I have a lot of experience working with the queer community and love to be a source of support. In couples therapy, I have worked with many different types of couples and primarily use Gottman's Method to enhance communication and connection.

My Background and Approach

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychological & Brain Sciences and Environmental Studies from UC Santa Barbara, followed by a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Boston College. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a variety of settings, including residential treatment centers, nonprofit organizations, and private practice. I offer a range of session types to best meet each person’s unique needs. For adolescents, I encourage parent involvement, though how often and in what capacity will depend on your child’s age and presenting concerns. For young adults, we’ll decide together whether it makes sense to involve others in the process. These choices are always collaborative—I strive to be flexible and thoughtful in adapting to each person’s goals, family dynamics, and circumstances.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am passionate about being a source of support for anyone who needs it. I believe therapy is something everyone can benefit from, and you don’t have to be in crisis to seek support. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals can navigate life’s stressors, work through past traumas, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I hope to empower anyone who walks through my door to feel heard, supported, and understood as they move toward healing and personal growth.
