I became a therapist because of my own experience as an outside-the-box human who struggled to fit into the typical mold. Counseling is a vulnerable process, and I strive to create a safe and affirming space where clients can be themselves and share their stories. I enjoy collaborating with clients and believe that how we understand and frame our experiences plays a powerful role in mental and emotional well-being. I work with teens and am LGBTQIA+ informed and affirming, with experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism. I have extended training in co-occurring disorders and substance use, and I use a trauma-informed approach that integrates DBT skills to support growth and authenticity.
