About My Clients

I enjoy working with children to adults and offer support through individual, family, and group sessions. I can help with struggles related to processing and healing from trauma, grief and loss, navigating change, building confidence and coping skills, learning emotional regulation, identifying values and setting goals, creating and reinforcing boundaries, and improving relationships.

My Background and Approach

I have experience addressing anxiety, depression, OCD, behavioral issues, adjustment issues, navigating family dynamics, trauma, self-esteem, and grief and loss. I utilize various techniques and approaches based on your needs, but utilize a cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy lens to learn coping skills, emotional regulation, and understanding of behavior and thought processes.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in validating and supporting your experience. We all deserve compassion and the space to feel our feelings. I am LGBTQ friendly and want to create a safe space to explore difficult emotions and experiences. I am supportive of all populations and backgrounds, interests, and beliefs.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
