I provide individual therapy to adults 18+ informed by evidence based practices (CBT and ACT), which examine the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to offer awareness, skills, and motivation to discard inaccurate, unhelpful narratives, build emotional resilience, and focus on what matters to my clients. I also specialize in helping individuals initiate and navigate major transitions in their relationships, careers, and academic pursuits. I especially welcome anyone seeking support for non-traditional identities and lifestyles, and some of the folks I see self-identify themselves as multiracial, LGBTQIA+, kinky, or polyamorous/non-monogamous.
