Everyone's story is unique. Throughout our lives, we often need support to overcome personal and/or environmental challenges and to address issues that prevents us from feeling fulfilled, being successful and living healthy lives. Using a warm, genuine, and empathic approach, I work with clients to build trusting and collaborative relationships that help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves, experience emotional relief, and feel empowered to make profound change. It is important for you to find a practice where you feel heard, valued and respected. Utilizing a person-centered approach, I aim to provide life changing services to empower my clients to take the necessary steps to become the best version of themselves. Drawing from a range of therapeutic techniques, I assist my clients with identifying patterns, problem solving obstacles, and developing new skills to help cope with life's challenges. By gaining self-awareness, my clients are able to access their resiliency and strengths, learn new skills, and lead a more healthy, balanced life. As your therapist, I vow to be a genuine support during the journey to your best self by cheering for you, teaching you and guiding you every step of the way.
I know from personal and professional experience how difficult it can be to find a counselor who meets the needs of neurodiverse people, and how frightening it can be as an LGBTQ+ person to navigate the process while feeling safe. Safety is a priority for me, as feeling safe and empowered to make choices is what allows us as human beings to improve and grow! As a person with both autism and ADHD who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know how hard it can be to find a provider who "gets" both aspects of my life. I work from a social justice lens that honors those aspects of our clientele that are neither queer are neurodiverse, too. I love to help, and hope to be able to help you!

I am a licensed clinician who strives to empower and support children and adolescents with seeing their full potential and refocusing their energy on desired growth. I support them with managing psychosocial stressors within their day to day lives, provide organizational techniques to support them with improving their academic performance, provide insight into the importance of having and maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships and teach healthier ways to cope with other identified symptoms. My private practice is centered on working with children, adolescents and families. I have worked with children and adolescents for over 10 years and have helped many achieve their desired progress by utilizing various treatment modalities. I provide a comfortable and supportive environment for you to begin your journey. I am also affiliated with an Outpatient Mental Health Clinic (OMHC) who provides medication management services if needed. My office is handicap accessible and I offer a flexible schedule, which includes evening hours and weekends.
