Life can be painful, and it can be hard to know where to turn when we feel like we’ve exhausted all our options. Wherever you are hurting, whether it be in family relationships, romantic relationships, your relationship with yourself, or your relationship with the world around you, I’m here to help you find the wound and learn how to heal it. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families to ensure you get the best care and support possible. I know how difficult it can be to find an affirming, celebratory space for marginalized folx and strive to offer that for my clients.
I also am passionate about working with people who have experienced trauma, particularly developmental and relational trauma. The groundwork for the rest of your life is set in childhood, and understanding how your early years are impacting you now can be life-changing work.
Whether you are an individual looking for support or a couple working through relationship challenges, I am here to provide compassion and guidance. Together, we can navigate the path towards self-acceptance, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life.
