I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults who are facing life's challenges by providing both play therapy and talk therapy. I have experience helping young people cope with: 

• depression

• anxiety

• school stress

• developing social skills

• emotional regulation

• a change in the family system

• gender and sexuality exploration

• personal identity development

• adjusting to major life events

• substance abuse

To help support my clients, I utilize Person-Centered therapy through a feminist and queer studies lens so my clients can gain a deeper understanding of their struggles and begin to better know themselves. A client-centered approach backed by evidence-based counseling techniques ensures my clients receive care that is tailored to them.

I received my Masters degree from Agnes Scott College in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and during my time there, I researched how social media use impacts our identity development. I am currently a doctoral student at Georgia State University in their Counselor Education and Practice program where I will continue to investigate the role media plays in our personal development.

On a personal note, I am a queer, non-binary person who has two cats, and I love to hike and be outdoors! When not providing counseling, you can frequently find me at concerts, museums, or buried under a mountain of research papers and textbooks.
