About My Clients

I work with older adolescents and adults to address concerns around trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, life transitions, parenting, and relationships. I particularly enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I work well with people who find themselves on the outside of mainstream society. Geeks, goths, and gamers are welcome! I accept Cigna and Blue Cross Blue Shield

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and I use a little bit of everything. I have a casual and flexible attitude and want to make my sessions feel safe for my clients. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach and we will collaborate to create a treatment plan based on your specific needs. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Expressive Arts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

It is important to me that you have a voice in your treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to create personalized treatment plans to help you achieve your goals and live a happy and healthy life. I believe that every individual is unique and has their own struggles and their own strengths. I want to support you and help you unlock your own potential so that you can thrive independently. As someone with a background in social work, I am a strong believer and advocate in social justice. LGBTQIA+ and women's issues are near and dear to my heart. I also am an advocate for destigmatizing mental health and increasing accessibility of treatment to everyone.
