I have always been a very sensitive and quiet person. With this trait came lifelong struggles with emotion regulation, anxiety, coping with stress, and making connections with others. As much as I felt like an outsider, it also gave me a passion for asking deep questions and learning how people “work.” My love of psychology grew as I listened to my peers in high school share their own challenges, and I began to realize that we all carry stories worth exploring. Learning about my own mental health has taught me how to be my own best friend, and to embrace my flaws and work through them with compassion. I believe everyone has a unique story to tell and a rich inner world, and I am eager to help others feel understood and to learn how to tune into their own needs.

I am open to seeing clients aged 12+ for individual sessions. I am passionate about working with youth and adolescents, as well as members of the neurodiverse and disabled community. I also take a culturally sensitive approach to my work and welcome members from the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I understand how the intersectionality of one’s identity might impact their mental health, and that identification within a particular group means something different for everyone.
