About My Clients

I believe everyone is capable of living their fullest, most vibrant life and it is my passion to help them achieve it. I help clients foster insight by processing their past experiences and gently uncovering the ways their pasts connect with their current struggles. I work with clients to discover the patterns and rules that keep them stuck and then support them in cultivating a life that brings them joy and fulfillment. Self-compassion is a cornerstone of my practice.

My Background and Approach

My areas of focus include: the LGBTQ+ community, anxiety, self-esteem, complex trauma, relationships (of all kinds), neurodivergence (ADHD + autism) and people pleasing. I use an individualized, person-centered approach and incorporate mindfulness, DBT, and self-compassion skills into my practice. My style is warm, non-judgmental, honest, connected, and patient. I love working with people who are curious about their inner worlds!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe the most healing aspect of therapy is the relationship that develops between therapist and client. For this reason, it is deeply important to me that my clients feel safe enough to show up fully as themselves in therapy. My practice is open to people of all sexualities, gender identities, racial and ethnic backgrounds, relationship types, and faiths. I welcome clients who are questioning or exploring their identities and I am happy to move at whatever pace they need while meeting them with warmth and support. I believe therapy can be silly and even fun while still being impactful and effective; laughter and tears are equally welcome in my therapy sessions.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
