I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern (RCSWI) dedicated to helping others fill their tool boxes with strategies to best regulate their emotions and tolerate moments of distress. I know that starting therapy can feel scary. It’s my goal to make you feel safe, supported, and seen. I offer strengths-based, affirming care - meeting you where you are and creating a space for you to share freely and without judgment. We’ll work together to help you find connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that you can gain control over your emotions and autonomy over your life.
My therapeutic approach incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tenets like mindfulness, radical acceptance, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation - all wrapped in genuine empathy, warmth, and kindness. I am passionate about increasing support for marginalized individuals, and I am committed to creating an affirming environment that is culturally responsive, anti-racist, and trauma-informed.
*Secure video sessions you can join from home or any private space. Accessible, flexible, and great for busy lives or anyone who feels more comfortable online.

A comfortable one-on-one space to talk through what’s going on in your life, help you navigate life’s challenges, and deepen your connection with yourself. We explore emotions, patterns, goals, and coping strategies at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll unpack the hard stuff with curiosity and care.

Support for partners in any relationship structure who want to strengthen communication, repair conflict, and deepen understanding with one another. We focus on rebuilding connection and trust so your relationships feel more secure and fulfilling.

A collaborative space to reconnect, improve communication, and build shared understanding. We work together to create healthier dynamics and a stronger sense of safety and support within your family system.

A down-to-earth, judgment-free space for young people to express themselves, navigate stress, academic pressure, friendships, and big feelings. I utilize creative techniques and practical strategies to help them explore their identity, better understand themselves, and build skills to thrive.

A fully affirming and welcoming space where you can get curious about who you are while you explore identity, values, and sense of self. Come out, question, or simply exist as yourself without needing to explain. No pressure, no assumptions, just space to explore in a caring environment that centers safety, support, and celebration.

A supportive space for caregivers to ask questions, learn strategies, understand their child’s needs, and feel more equipped in their role. We integrate the skills your child is learning in therapy and develop practical tools that help you better support their growth and development. Especially helpful for parents navigating sexual orientation and/or gender identity exploration, conflict, or big emotions at home.
Empowering, skills-focused sessions designed to help you manage emotions, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Informed by evidence-based DBT skills, these virtual psychoeducational lessons break down practical coping strategies into clear, accessible steps you can start using right away. Sessions are available one-on-one or in small groups, giving you flexibility and personalized support.
With over a decade of experience teaching and supporting students in grades K–12, I am passionate about making mental health education engaging, relevant, and accessible for all. I partner with schools, programs, and organizations to provide meaningful, developmentally appropriate mental health and social-emotional curricula, tailored to meet the unique needs of every community.
Interactive, engaging presentations that bring mental health and social-emotional learning directly to groups of any size. Workshops can be fully customized for your audience (students, staff, youth programs, or workplace teams) and designed to align with your group’s developmental stage, goals, and challenges. Whether you’re seeking a single session, a multi-part series, or a themed learning experience, each workshop provides actionable tools participants can use immediately. Sessions are available in-person (with travel options) or virtually, making mental health education accessible wherever your group is.
Services include designing curriculum from scratch, enhancing existing lessons, or tailoring content to meet the needs of diverse learners. Lesson plans (pre-designed or fully customized) blend practical coping strategies, accessible psychoeducation, and interactive activities that build emotional awareness, foster self-confidence, and improve overall well-being.
