Specialty Services
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. Holding a Master of Science in Educational Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I work with individuals ages 12 and up, specializing in youth and young adults within the LGBTQ+ community. My approach is warm, relatable, and rooted in your unique strengths. By combining Person-Centered and Cognitive-Behavioral therapies, I tailor our work to fit your specific needs, creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can process, grow, and truly feel comfortable being yourself.
