I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. I work with ages 5-29. My ideal client would be an LGBTQIA2S+ child, adolescent, or young adult needing support with identity exploration and acceptance. I want to support clients working through depression, anxiety, grief and loss, complex trauma, and gender dysphoria to promote their wellbeing. I use she/they pronouns and am in the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I believe in initially creating positive therapeutic rapport as a foundation to then improve lives. I plan to integrate DBT and CBT specific coping skills during sessions to help clients utilize their strengths. I enjoy using art and games with clients to provide comfort within the therapeutic space. I strive to be the best fit for you or your child by using evidenced based practices that best fit your needs and wants in therapy. Thank you for taking the time to read my narrative and I look forward to potentially working with you. Please reach out today to get scheduled.
