About My Clients

My clients are most often: queer and grappling with layered issues of identity and self; young adults in the midst of a life transition; women or queer individuals on a fertility or family-forming journey; folks seeking to deepen self-awareness, build healthier relationships, or cultivate a greater sense of fulfillment; anyone navigating feelings of anxiety, depression, or feeling "off" and need someone to walk alongside as they grow and heal.

My Background and Approach

As a therapist, my approach is supportive and empathetic, and I strive to create a safe space where you can process your thoughts, worries, and dreams without the fear of judgement. I have experience as a school social worker, and especially enjoy working with students and teens, young adults, and the LGBTQIA+ community. I love being a social worker because I enjoy helping clients uncover their strength and start living the life they have been dreaming of. I like to use various modalities that are tailored for you, depending on your reason for seeking therapy services. I have experience with cognitive-based therapies, and I include mindfulness and meditation in my practice. Deciding to start seeing a therapist can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know that you will be treated with the most kindness, respect, and care as we collaborate. I am looking forward to connecting with you and exploring the opportunity to work together!
