About My Clients

You may want to work with me if you are a parent looking for support for your child, an adolescent/teen that needs someone to talk things through such as home/relationship/school stressors, a young adult balancing life's problems, or a couple looking for communication help. I have experience in working with delicate issues surrounding the Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+ community, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.

My Background and Approach

I received my master's in forensic psychology, which aided in my experience working with delicate issues surrounding the Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+ community, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. I have worked extensively with children and adolescents of all ages. I provide a person centered approach, meaning that I will always tailor our sessions to what you need from me as a counselor, and how I can best support you!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My hope is to make anyone who works with me to feel safe and comfortable with their own identities. I am an active member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I am a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and Trans Rights.
