Children, Adolescents, Adults, and Couples

In Person and Virtual

Immediate Openings

Before joining the mental health field, I built a successful career in performing arts and theater education, bringing rich life experience, strong interpersonal skills, and a grounded, real-world perspective to my current work with clients. I have extensive training in evidence-based practices and am committed to delivering high-quality care. My theatre and creative arts background have strengthened my creativity in sessions to think outside of the box and approach client’s challenges in a way that may not have been previously considered.  Theater training nurtured my curiosity and empathy…two strengths I bring to every session. I practice with a “yes-and” approach: validating a client’s truth while exploring the next step together.

Prior to becoming a counselor I worked with Neurodiverse populations including ADHD and Autism as well as working with teens and with Schizophrenia and Down’s Syndrome. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, teens and adults individually and in group settings in her former career. In my classroom, I strove to develop an empathetic and safe environment to try new things, help students reach their goals, and be their authentic selves.

I also love to work with adults and couples who are ready to explore their inner world and relationships with honesty and openness. They may be navigating transitions, managing ADHD, processing identity-related challenges, or working to strengthen communication with loved ones. Couple’s therapy isn’t one size fits all and I enjoy helping couples harness the tools and techniques in ways that will aid their unique situations.  I get excited seeing those moments of discovery couples have during sessions that help deepen their relationship and understanding of their partner’s perspective.

As a queer and gender-affirming therapist, I provide an inclusive and supportive environment for clients across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. I also integrate Gottman Method techniques for couples and SPACE-informed strategies for parents of anxious children, helping families and relationships become sources of strength rather than stress.

When I am not in the office I am often doing something creative. I’m a huge crafter of all kinds and I’m not afraid to get messy!  I’ve been a singer, dancer, and actor my whole life.  I love playing Dungeons and Dragons!
