I work with clients to contextualize their mental health within their social environment. This is the first step to supporting my client’s self-awareness, destigmatizing their experience, and identifying ways to improve their mental health. I offer my clients a range of treatment options to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and more.

I take a nonjudgmental and accepting stance toward my clients’ identities and experiences. I am familiar with the experiences and obstacles of LGBTQ+ people and in particular trans and non-binary people.

I believe we can all benefit from cultivating a self-accepting voice, especially as we are increasingly exposed to images of judgment and expectation in our daily lives.

As a client-centered psychotherapist with a concentration on Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Trauma, I am dedicated to helping children overcome their difficult experiences. My approach focuses on addressing complex developmental trauma, using evidence-based interventions such as Critical Incident Densitization and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Throughout the treatment process, I work with children to modify negative, unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that result from traumatic experiences. I also use different techniques of play and art to help children express their trauma narrative in a non-verbal way. With positive treatment and training outcomes, I believe that CBT, Client Centered Play Therapy, and CID offer a promising approach for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma
