About My Clients

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to--someone to listen and offer a neutral perspective. Whether you are wanting to better navigate life's daily struggles or wanting to unpack deeper issues, it can be helpful to have someone in your corner. I believe therapy can be beneficial for individuals to process through challenging emotions and learn more effective coping skills for managing difficulties in life.

My Background and Approach

I believe that counseling can be a helpful process for many people, whether that means finding better ways to cope with life’s daily struggles, unpacking deeper issues, or somewhere in between! My therapeutic style is honest, down-to-earth, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I have 3+ years of experience working in a community mental health setting providing treatment for individuals with mental health and substance use disorders. Though I have worked with very diverse populations, I specialize in treating adults and adolescents with anxiety & depression, trauma, and substance use disorders.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that therapy is a space for showing up as your authentic self. I am very intentional about creating a welcoming and accepting environment for my clients to feel safe being themselves without fear of judgment. I support BLM, LGBTQA+, and I am sex worker positive. There are so many different paths available in this life and I believe that all nonviolent and consensual ways of living are valid. If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me a message.
