I believe everyone has innate strengths, so my work focuses around building on those strengths. I often use cognitive behavioral therapy and a solution-focused approach to instill hope and support clients with problem-solving. My passion is in supporting the LGBTQ+ community, particularly gender-expansive folks, around concerns with coming out, identity formation, or everyday challenges. My background working with high achieving students gave me skills for managing perfectionism and decreasing burnout in youth and adults. I'd describe my therapeutic style is warm and gentle. I want my clients to feel empowered but also supported if they feel overwhelmed in a new situation or want to learn new skills.
