Seeking out mental health treatment can be a daunting process—one that involves exploration of identity and major life transitions. I enjoy working with patients navigating the impact of life transitions (starting a new career, adjusting to a new school, ending/beginning relationships, experiencing loss, adjusting to medical illness) on their overall mental health. I have significant experience working with individuals of diverse backgrounds (LGBTQIA+ affirming) and strive to understand your unique community and family system. My goal is to help you identify your individual strengths and core values.
