About My Clients

Beginning therapy can often seem daunting. It can be the first time you are admitting something isn’t working, or you aren’t feeling okay. I want to provide the space and time for you to sit with that possibility, work together to understand those thoughts and feelings, and use your experiences to guide you toward new, affirming spaces and connections. Together, we can support you in navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, and identity and LGBTQ+ related concerns.

My Background and Approach

It can be hard to open up to a new person, especially when discussing topics you may be struggling with. As your therapist, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are and learn what makes you feel at ease, so therapy feels helpful. Using an integrative approach, I draw on relational cultural theory, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, shaping my work around your unique needs. You know yourself best, and we can use that knowing to guide what therapy becomes for you. Together, we can support you in navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, neurodivergence, identity and LGBTQ+ related concerns, as well as relationship challenges, family dynamics, and major life transitions. I believe we grow through the relationships we foster in our lives, and that our therapeutic relationship can serve as an example of the kind of growth that can also happen outside of our sessions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we grow through the relationships we foster in our lives, and that our therapeutic relationship can serve as an example of the kind of growth that can also happen outside of our sessions. Whether you’re beginning therapy or returning to it, I look forward to connecting and working together.
