About My Clients

My expertise is in working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, bipolar disorder, autism, ADHD, life transitions, grief, and stress. I work primarily with adults, and older adolescents on a case by case basis.

My Background and Approach

Life can take us on some wild twists and turns. I believe we all deserve to have someone support us through life's dark and challenging times. I provide a non-judgmental and safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My approach is neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQIA-affirming. I draw upon various treatment perspectives to tailor our work specifically to you and your unique needs. Sessions are online, so settle into a cozy spot, wear comfy clothes, or grab some coffee. Do what makes you feel comfortable. I am here, ready to listen. I'll be by your side for support and guidance as you take the next steps on your journey.
