Healing is a Journey
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who believes that therapy works best when it's active, engaging, and even fun. I've found that play and practice are the most powerful ways we actually learn and retain new skills—not just understand them intellectually. I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults navigating anxiety, social anxiety, self-esteem challenges, behavioral concerns, and stress.
I offer group therapy sessions using Role-Playing Games as the medium for processing. In these Therapeutically Applied Role-Playing Games (TARPGs) I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build coping skills that stick. Group work is particularly powerful—it gives you the chance to learn about yourself, practice new skills in real time, collaborate with peers who get it, and co-create a different story together.
Whether you're working through social anxiety, building confidence, or developing tools to manage stress, I'm here to meet you where you are. I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions and am currently accepting new clients.
