About My Clients

I work with teens and young adults who are open to developing self awareness, insight, and an understanding of how they they view themselves and the world. You may be living day to day with a smile on, keeping up with responsibilities, and on the outside appear like everything is going fine. In reality, you may be struggling to juggle everything, hiding inner pain, depressive thoughts, anxious moods, relationship conflicts, or underlying trauma that may be too difficult or shameful to face.

My Background and Approach

Majority of my work revolves around addressing issues with depression, anxiety, trauma (including intergenerational and developmental trauma), relationship conflicts, and life transitions/changes. I have had experience working in outpatient, intensive outpatient, forensic, and school settings. My therapeutic orientation is eclectic, depending on what your presenting needs are. I implement a 3-probe approach that includes work from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness lenses. I find it important to incorporate and encourage mind-body integration techniques in my work as well. I strive to create a genuine, empathic, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Together, we can work on helping you reach your goals in therapy.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
