About me
I am a licensed therapist that works virtually with people 13-65. I genuinely enjoy working with others and feel everyone benefits from support.
My approach is holistic and person centered. I value diversity and balance using evidence based methods with listening to the voices of those with lived experience. I am trauma-informed, neurodiversity affirming, body positive, and LGBTQ+ friendly. I’m often told that I am open-minded, supportive, and a great listener, with a calming presence that helps others feel more regulated and at ease.
We focus on self-awareness, mindfulness, emotional regulation, stress management, compassion, and authentic living. By understanding the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions behind behaviors, you'll make meaningful progress and understand yourself deeper.
I work well with individuals seeking support to navigate life's challenges. I believe all aspects of life are intricately connected, and everyone benefits from feeling heard and understood. I support those looking for guidance, emotional clarity, and connection.
I became a therapist because I genuinely enjoy working with people and understand the vulnerability of asking for help.
Virtual therapy is convenient. Clients can receive support from the comfort of their own space and easily fit it into their schedule.
I show up as a real, imperfect human who genuinely cares. I believe in creating a space where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment. My goal is to offer understanding and connection, so you can feel safe, accepted, and supported.
