Professional Summary
I'm a licensed professional counselor and I enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I have experience working with issues such as trauma, suicidal ideation, family dynamics, Autism, anxiety, and depression.
​
As a therapist that identifies as Queer, I am passionate about working with and advocating for LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as other marginalized identities. I welcome topics such as diversity and identity in the counseling room.
​
When I am not practicing therapy, I enjoy singing, songwriting, and playing instruments. I also love to include music and art within therapy. I feel that utilizing creativity and mindfulness can be healing in many ways.
​
I believe that everyone has a story to tell and thank you for being open to sharing yours with me.
