About My Clients

Most of my clients are adults ranging from early 20s to late 40s. I see college students adjusting to becoming adults, women experiencing pregnancy, adults facing divorce, and adults facing big life changes. My clients typically experience symptoms of anxiety or depression such as feeling lonely, unmotivated, lethargic, excessive worry, feeling out of control, or hopeless.

My Background and Approach

I specialize treating anxiety, depression, and recovering from trauma. I provide a virtual therapeutic space for you to feel comfortable being vulnerable so we can collaborate on your healing journey. I have experience helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship conflict, trauma, LGBTQ+/diversity issues, and post-election distress. I utilize modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and other evidence based interventions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

You know you best, and my role is to provide insight and guidance as you break down your negative beliefs about yourself and your mental health and rebuild a foundation full of self-love and acceptance. Whether recovering from a traumatic experience, processing life events, overcoming generational trauma, or redefining who you are, I will create a safe space for you. I love seeing my clients heal and grow through the therapeutic process. I provide a space full of empathy and understanding so that you feel safe to be vulnerable. It can be nerve racking to meet a new therapist, but I encourage you to call or email so we can start your healing journey.
