Introduction

I approach therapy with the intention of being effective while being my genuine self. Virtual sessions might include a meow from my cat Rajie, and maybe even a cameo. I’m engaged and interactive in sessions, so that we’re having a conversation that feels comfortable and productive. We will develop goals for treatment based on your wants and needs. I use my training and experience, along with your strengths, to help you achieve goals. I use a variety of treatment methods based on your needs and how you respond to them over time. I have training in and utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, art therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy skills. I would be happy to discuss and clarify any of these techniques during our phone call. I typically work with young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions, and frequently with LGBTQIA+ folks. These individuals are often experiencing difficulties with dating and relationships, assertive communication with friends or bosses, setting boundaries with friends or family members, and/or mental health symptoms.
