Works with Teens 13+ and Adults

​

I am a Pre-Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a specialization in Holistic Studies. My hope is to create a space of non-judgement and safety in which you are comfortable being seen and heard. I take a client centered approach, carefully learning about you and collaborating with you to address what has brought you to counseling. In the therapeutic work we will do together, I consider how emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual factors are impacting your life. I offer support, insight, and an opportunity to explore what wellbeing means to you. When appropriate and of interest, I offer mindfulness and creative processes as therapeutic techniques. 

Works with Teens 16+ and Adults

 

I’m a Pre-Licensed Therapist and 4 th year doctoral psychology student (Psy.D. in Counseling & School Psychology) with a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology. I offer individual counseling to older adolescents (aged 16+) and adults across the lifespan done in-person or virtually. We all reach times in our
lives where the desire for change meets a moment of action toward it. I connect with people in that space and move together toward a brighter and more hopeful future that is uniquely their own. I specialize in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), teaching new skills we practice and hone together at a pace that adjusts to meet you where you’re at. My style in therapy is always grounded in empathy, understanding, and compassion, but I pride myself on also being challenging when it’s helpful and sharing in a laugh whenever we can.

I use a variety of therapy strategies and techniques that are individualized to meet the need of my clients, focusing on client strengths and building on their existing skills.
