I offer individual therapy for adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, self-criticism, perfectionism, and relationship dissatisfaction. Our time together will be engaging, thought provoking, and supportive. I also understand counseling can be painful at times. I am committed to being present alongside you during these moments and to honor your exploration into where you have been, where you are, and where you would like to go. I will assist you in growing self-compassion, unhooking from painful thoughts and feelings, developing healthy coping skills, and supporting your pursuits of a meaningful life. We can approach our work together using a variety of frameworks and I will adapt to meet your needs and preferences. I have additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I aim to be queer/LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally sensitive, anti-racist, trauma informed, and weight inclusive. You are the expert of your story and I strive to be a fellow traveler in our time together while we make sense of the world around us. I value taking a curious and non-judgmental stance with all of my clients. If you are interested in learning more about my services please reach out by phone, e-mail, or through my website.
