Short Biography

Doing everything "right" but still anxious? Able to “intellectualize” your feelings but not actually process them? Traditional talk therapy hasn't worked? I specialize with working with high performers/achievers, neurodivergent (mainly ADHD and/or Autism), and LGBTQIA+ populations. I primarily work with graduate students, young professionals, and professionals. I have experience working mainly with anxiety, depression, relational trauma, life transitions (e.g., transition to adulthood, stress management, grief and loss, identity exploration and development), and providing affirmation around neurodivergent, and LGBTQ+ identities.

Therapy Philosophy

My aim with my work is to empower clients to reach their potential by meeting people where they are at in life. I believe the therapeutic process is collaborative in nature as I help guide clients towards an empowered sense of self. I work from a strengths-based perspective that is person-centered, culturally informed, and trauma informed. I recognize I won’t be the best fit for every client, as every client is a unique individual as with each psychotherapist. The therapeutic relationship being one of the most significant factors in client’s growth and healing. Please email to schedule a consult if interested.
