About My Clients
When life is overwhelming, the idea of making a phone call, sending an email, or even googling therapists can feel like an insurmountable task, and I'm glad you took that brave first step in caring for yourself. Whether you are here because you need a safe, inclusive space to process, your anxiety feels unmanageable, or you feel stuck in any manner of ways, my goal is to empower you, work with you in finding a deeper understanding of yourself, and walk alongside you on your healing journey.
My Background and Approach
For nearly 9+ years in this field, I have strived to help individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity, with a particular focus on anxiety, trauma, identity, substance use, and life transitions. My work is rooted in strengths-based, feminist, and narrative approaches, and I draw from a range of other evidence-based practices tailored to individual needs. I also believe in a solution-focused approach, working with you to address what’s happening right now while building tools to help you navigate future challenges. Whether we’re exploring past experiences or managing overwhelming emotions, my goal is to empower you with strategies that foster resilience, growth, and self-understanding. As someone passionate about breaking down barriers to care—especially for the LGBTQ+ community—I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. Together, we’ll uncover solutions and chart a path toward healing that feels authentic and achievable.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m deeply passionate about breaking down barriers to care, and mental health equity and social justice are causes close to my heart. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it's especially important to me to create a space that is inclusive, affirming, and empowering. I view mental health as a basic human right, essential to overall well-being, and approach my work with the belief that every person has the capacity for good and growth, no matter how disheartening the world may feel at times. Personally, I’ve greatly benefited from my own therapy for anxiety (and really just coping with life) and continue to engage in therapy to grow and learn. I also believe my clients teach me as much as I teach them, and I carry that perspective into every session. Outside of my work, I spend my free time hiking and enjoying nature, bouldering, and generally being obsessed with my animals.
