About My Clients

I work with clients from a diverse group of backgrounds and clinical needs. I work extensively with clients from the LGBTQIA+, disabled, and veteran communities. I work with clients seeking support with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, and other issues that cause them stress in their daily lives.

My Background and Approach

You deserve a safe and accepting space to explore and process what is on your mind with a multiculturally competent counselor. I emphasize dynamic mental health practices, open communication and kindness in the therapy room. I tailor my therapeutic techniques and tools to suit the individual needs of my clients who wish to explore their feelings, anxieties and various life-transitions in an open and accepting therapeutic environment. The approach we take depends largely on your preferences and goals as the client. Some clients benefit from structured therapeutic techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy while others prefer a looser, talk based approach to meeting their goals. Whatever your preference, I aim to provide the care that is most helpful to you. Your voice matters!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Therapy is a safe, open space to express yourself and learn new tools that set you on the path you want to follow. Therapy is also work! It requires commitment to yourself and practicing the tools provided in session. I became a counselor because when I needed mental health services I was very lucky to work with kind, competent professionals that helped me find relief and balance that I needed in my life. I aim to provide that same thoughtful care and attention to your needs and help you achieve your goals. My therapy room is a safe space for all backgrounds, races, genders, body types and abilities. You are safe and cared for here. You will never be judged and always be welcomed.
