About My Clients

My experience in a variety of settings has provided me with the opportunities to work with a wide variety of clients including children/adolescents, adults, relationships, and families. My specialties include working with a variety of presentations including but not limited to: depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, relational difficulties, autistic/otherwise neurodiverse clients, queer and/or trans folks, and trauma survivors.

My Background and Approach

From a treatment standpoint, I practice therapy from a client-centered approach and utilizes a combination of this and psychodynamic principles to understand the client’s needs and guide the client in the process of change. I am able to write letters of support for trans/GNC clients seeking this service.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that the client is the expert of their own experiences and seek to create an environment of trust and authenticity. I strive to incorporate an intersectional, validating, body-positive, death-positive, and sex-positive approach to working with clients. I believe that an empathic environment is one in which a client feels empowered and seen.
