Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed, feel stuck, and hopeless. Sometimes it can feel as though things keep piling up against us and it can be hard to feel complete. Some people may experience this emotionally, others more physically. Different things trigger these responses in us and make it hard for us to thrive. Whether it is the pandemic, trauma, depression, anxiety, family or relational conflict, self-esteem issues, racial injustice, or grief, having an outlet to make space for this discomfort can help alleviate the pain and move you towards a place of healing.

My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, trauma, women's issues, and life transitions.
I have found that the most significant aspect of success in any therapeutic experience is the client-therapist relationship. It is very important to me that I create a safe, non-judgmental, environment for my clients. I tend to have a more casual and client-centered style and strive to provide a warm and empathetic environment, while also bringing humor and playfulness into my relationship with clients. Each of us has different experiences, which is why I tailor treatment styles to meet each client's individual needs. I believe in providing a safe space, in which clients can grow and feel comfortable being their authentic selves.

Hi there! Thank you for stopping by. I work primarily with LGBTQIA+ communities focusing on identity exploration and experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe that distress is often a very human response to the dehumanizing experience of living within systems that cultivate vast social inequity, and I seek to create a space for joy and connection. As a queer and genderfluid parent, I am passionate about supporting pregnant and parenting people, young people, and families. I know firsthand the isolation that can come with navigating non-affirming institutions and I am honored to offer a safer therapeutic environment.
