About My Clients

As a dedicated therapist, I provide a welcoming space where every part of you is honored. I support children, teens, adults, and families using a blend of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, IFS-informed, play-based, and person-centered methods. Grounded in a strengths-based perspective, I honor your lived experiences and the inner resources you already carry. My gender-affirming, trauma-responsive care helps regulate emotions, heal past wounds, and strengthen relationships.

My Background and Approach

As a dedicated therapist, I provide a welcoming space where every part of you is honored. I support children, teens, adults, and families using a blend of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, IFS-informed, play-based, and person-centered methods. Grounded in a strengths-based perspective, I honor your lived experiences and the inner resources you already carry. My gender-affirming, trauma-responsive care helps regulate emotions, heal past wounds, and strengthen relationships. Together, we’ll build skills, nurture resilience, and create meaningful change that aligns with your most authentic self. I provide trauma-informed, strengths-based therapy for individuals of all ages. Certified in CBT, DBT, Play Therapy, and IFS approaches, I offer evidence-based care tailored to your needs. My practice is inclusive and gender-affirming, honoring and supporting all identities while fostering healing, growth, and resilience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and change at any point in their lives. Mental health challenges often arise from unhealthy learned behaviors—but those behaviors can be unlearned and replaced with healthy, empowering ones. I also believe in the power of personal experience: having overcome severe anxiety and panic attacks myself, I know that freedom from fear is possible. I value inclusivity, nonjudgment, and actively support the LGBTQ community. I believe in standing up for what’s right, participating in marches and community actions, and creating spaces where everyone feels safe and respected. I approach life with humor, authenticity, and hope, and I’m committed to helping others build healthier habits, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of balance and well-being. I help individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges, heal, and grow. Every journey begins with your story, and together we explore it with care and understanding.
