About My Clients

Whether you’re experiencing life transitions, are overwhelmed with difficult thoughts and emotions, or are simply interested in discovering more about yourself, I am here to support and collaborate with you to form a plan specific to your needs and goals. Specializing in OCD, phobias, and LGBTQIA+ concerns, I provide empathic and nonjudgmental support to empower you to navigate unique stressors, challenge intrusive thoughts, and live your life with confidence!

My Background and Approach

Drawing from evidence-based CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques, I take a solution-focused approach to therapy that empowers clients to make real, positive change in their lives in accordance with their personal goals and values.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that my personal life experiences as a neurodivergent, bisexual, genderfluid person have given me unique insights into common needs and concerns of those in my shared communities. However, no one has lived your life except you; while my experiences inform my practice, I believe that no two people have the same story to tell, and I approach every client with openmindedness, empathy, and a genuine interest in who YOU are. Together, we can explore your unique self and lift you up towards your goals.
