Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~ I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults - primarily on identity, confidence, anxiety, and mood related concerns. I thrive on helping others discover who they are and feel more empowered to be that person in every day life. Using evidence-based interventions to assist my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice.
As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and identities. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.

I create a safe environment via video conferencing where you can attend therapy from the comfort of your own home, in a space without judgment where you can truly be yourself.
I utilize evidence-based interventions to help you learn to manage and overcome anxiety, depression, mood swings, low confidence, and stress - whether it is due to social situations, life changes, work environment, trauma, or just something you've always dealt with - we can create a treatment plan specialized to fit your unique needs. Therapies I use include Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which I combine with a collaborative approach based on your level of need, in addition to educating you on the how's and why's of each intervention we use. I believe empowering and educating people is the key to success when it comes to creating lasting change in our lives.
I have years of experiencing working both online and in person with individuals, couples, and families. I primarily work with those in the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as teens, and young to middle-aged adults. Helping others discover and become more confident in who they are so they can shine is one of my passions.
