Everyone has their own little language, and part of this work is learning how to speak it. Whether communication happens through words, art, play, or even the lens of your favorite book, you deserve to be heard and understood. Sessions are grounded in each person's strengths and interests, creating a sense of comfort and familiarity as we navigate life's challenges together.
I am particularly passionate about serving the queer community, neurodivergent individuals, and those navigating grief and loss in any form. I also welcome anyone working through life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, and trauma. I am happy to work with children, teens, and adults in both individual and family sessions.
My approach is integrative and person-centered -- meeting you where you are and drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and play therapy. Goals for therapy are set collaboratively, with treatment tailored to you, your needs, and the full context of your experiences. Whether you are working toward major life changes or simply hoping to find more light in the everyday moments, we will find a path to get you there.
