About me

Hi there! I support teens, adults, and parents/caregivers. Being a person is hard-- let's talk.

My approach to therapy is rather simple. I work to build a relationship of trust and respect, honor your (or your child's) goals, and help reduce isolation. I can't promise or guarantee that your life will be astronomically better after going through a few sessions with me. I can't "get rid" of the anxiety, sadness, or trauma in your life. But I can tell you that I will honor your story, your struggles, and your goals. I will treat you with dignity, validate all the good, bad, ugly, and weirdness of your life, and will not make you feel ashamed of who you are or where you have been. I can help you to understand yourself better, at the pace you are ready for.

I have been trained in working with people who experience depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have done grief and loss work, sat with people in some of their darkest times, and helped them heal. I love this work, and I'd be honored if you gave it a try!
