About My Clients

Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. Connecting with someone new and having a safe place free of judgment is important, and I strive to offer that. I will offer you a secure, supportive environment to help you focus on goals specific to your needs. I offer a client-centered, eclectic combination of therapeutic approaches, in an authentic, relatable way. If you are feeling uncertain about whether to move forward, know that you are not alone and we can take those steps together!

My Background and Approach

I'm licensed in Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, with 12 years of experience. I work with individuals, couples & families, and I have over 6 years of experience working with patients & families impacted by cancer. I have been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), & certified as a Transgender Care Therapist. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, a cancer diagnosis, grief and loss, or life with uncertainty, know that you do not have to face it alone.Having a safe, nonjudgemental space to express yourself is an essential need when exploring some of the more challenging aspects of the human experience. During our time together, you can expect a relaxed, conversational interaction. I use an eclectic approach that is unique to your life circumstances. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered, and Strength Based interventions are a few of the modalities used.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have an extensive background in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and families. I hold a certification from the International Transgender Certification Association as a Transgender Care Therapist, and uphold the WPATH Standards of Care. You are meant to be exactly who you are, you are worthy, and you are enough. Engaging in therapy is meant to enrich your life, and empower you to be the best version of yourself. You will never experience discrimination for any reason.
