I'm particularly passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, adults on the autism spectrum, and those exploring nontraditional relationships.
Imagine having a trusted guide to accompany you on your journey towards emotional liberation. As your therapist, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself and explore your deepest concerns and desires. Together, we'll work to uncover the hidden patterns and habits that are no longer serving you, and empower you with the tools and insights needed to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

I help people struggling with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues and women suffering from prepartum and postpartum depression. I have extensive experience in the treatment of eating disorders and body image issues, as well as addictions to alcohol and other drugs. Additionally, I have a unique ability to connect with young adults facing difficult developmental life transitions. It is my belief that one of the most important elements of successful therapy is the relationship developed between the client and therapist.

We all struggle with the difficult experiences life presents, experiences that are linked to life’s pleasures and joys. We can face loneliness and loss, feelings of unworthiness, unexpected changes and the stress that comes with demanding circumstances. I work with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, difficulties in work or school, feelings of being without meaning or purpose, feeling alone, and other forms of psychological pain. My goal is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment to explore, find meaning, connect more deeply with others, and reconnect with the deepest parts of yourself.

Each of us passes through struggles that are difficult to cope with. In working together to form a therapeutic relationship we can become healthier and more able to react more skillfully to the challenges that present themselves. My work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families is based off a strong clinical foundation and woven together with compassion, respect and caring. By resolving some of our issues we can become balanced and find improved overall health (mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, emotionally).

I am a queer gender-affirming and sex-affirming therapist who sees adults, couples, and families.
You are intuitive, sensitive, and intelligent. Sometimes it feels like you wear mask, or have to perform, to avoid rejection. You wonder if something is inherently wrong with you and you just feel like you're not good enough to be accepted by others or have the things you want in life. Maybe you've been trying to live up to expectations of how you "should" be, and it's exhausting! It's showing up as depression, anxiety, loneliness and avoidance. You don't have to keep trying to "just be better" and figure it all out on your own. My aim is to support and empower you in creating the life you dream of.

Starting this journey can be overwhelming and new, especially when we can feel motivated to take those first steps toward healing but struggle to achieve progress. I work with adolescents (12-17), young adults, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Trauma, stress, challenging life events can leave our inner resources and authenticity untouched, discouraging our growth. 'I'm aware of my patterns and habits, what's next?. Together, we'll answer this question and build a treatment plan that matches your unique vision for growth.
