About My Clients

I see you! I hear you! I’m here for you! A lot of times life throws so much that you can feel broken, ineffective, and hopeless. The world tells you to be a certain way, but not how to be that way or worse, it doesn't make space for you to safely just be yourself. These feelings often build and can manifest as things like depression, anxiety, low self esteem, etc. And this doesn’t even take into account any traumas in your life.

My Background and Approach

In session, I really enjoy using things like anime, sci fi, video games, music, etc. to aid in exploration, support and healing. The things we enjoy, often play a vital role in how we experience ourselves and the world around us. As a gamer myself, even before I became a therapist I would play as healer when the option was availble. Aside from that, our work together will integrate a number of clinical styles meant to help support you in the most effective way I can. I strive to create an open, supportive, accepting space that still challenges you in a healthy way. I primarily use a person-centered clinical approach, but also integrate Somatics, Internal Family Systems, and CBT and a few others.
