Specifically, with codependency, trauma, systematic oppression, life transitions, neurodivergence, recovery, grief & loss, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. My current passion is working with creatives and neurodivergent individuals. I also enjoy working with other therapists and those with occupations within the mental health field. I work within a psychodynamic modality to help clients uncover patterns of thinking and behavior that no longer serve them. Overall, I am passionate about working with individuals that want to foster a stronger and healthier relationship with themselves and their personal goals. Empathy, empowerment, and self-expression are at the core of my clinical practice.
