I became a therapist because I strongly believe in the power of community. I wanted a career where I could support others in feeling accepted and heard in their own journey of wellness. My therapeutic approach is based on a mixture of cognitive and somatic based interventions utilizing a variety of evidenced based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Cognitive Processing, Polyvagal Therapy, and Mindfulness. I am passionate about ensuring that every person I work with feels their voice is not just heard but truly understood. Clients have described my approach as collaborative and creative. The majority of my clients are teens and young adults ages 13-35. I have a lot of experience working with neurodivergent clients and those within the LGBTQ+ community but work well with anyone that is interested in creative or somatic based approaches to care. My own creative outlets include yoga, art, reading, and video games. You’ll never see me turn down a warm cup of tea and I have been known to knit or doodle whenever possible.
