I’m glad you’re here. Seeking out therapy can feel like a daunting step, especially when you’re already at the point where you’ve realized that you can’t just deal with everything on your own, when the well-meaning advice of friends and family is no longer cutting it, or you don’t even know exactly what you need yet, despite all your efforts to problem-solve and “fix” whatever issue has brought you here. Therapy can provide a space that is all your own, to find your voice in all of this noise.
I specialize in working with adults with a variety of challenges and concerns, including depression, anxiety, complex trauma, addiction, navigating early adulthood, and gender/sexual identity exploration, but these labels are just umbrella terms that are totally insufficient to capture the particular nuances of someone’s story, and the path you may have taken here. Perhaps you are just stepping into adulthood and finally have the freedom to figure out who you are and what you want, without anyone pushing their agenda on you. Perhaps you made it well into adulthood before you realized that your habitual approach to life is no longer working. Maybe the ups and downs of a relationship have led to old pain resurfacing, or a newly discovered piece of your identity is forcing you to shift your life and face the unknown.
Whatever concern brings you to therapy, my goal is to facilitate a process unique to you, where you can better understand yourself without imposed or pre-packaged solutions, so that you can live more freely and authentically. I strive to be a guide on the unique life path you are carving out.
I love supporting individuals who wish to deeply explore themselves, to understand their core values and identity, and to figure out new ways of being in their relationships and in the world. My goal is to create a space where anything and everything can be said and explored, where old patterns we learned from our families of origin or society are brought to light and freed up, and new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating can be experimented with.
If you’d like to know more about my training and credentials, I am a licensed clinical social worker associate, and I graduated from Western Carolina University’s Masters of Social Work program with a certificate in addiction studies. Prior to that, I earned a BA in English and Slavic Studies from Brown University. I have enjoyed internship and work experiences in a college counseling center, at a middle school, and as an ACT team therapist. I’m committed to my continued learning and growth, through continued training, supervision and my own therapy.
My clinical areas of interest include providing gender-affirming and LGBTQ+ allied care, psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed care, neurodivergence, and a harm reduction-inclusive approach to substance use disorders.
If you are ready to work with a therapist that will provide the structure for you to deeply explore your identity, recognize and break old patterns of thinking and relating, and challenge you in the best ways, that’s me and I look forward to meeting you!
