As a queer therapist, I am extremely passionate about caring for my community in the ways this career allows. I take pride in ensuring my sessions are a safe and supportive space, and I am part of the communities I serve. I am trauma informed, sex positive, kink knowledgeable and neurodivergent affirming. I meet every client where they are at and see them as a person, not a set of symptoms to be "solved" or "fixed". I embrace the fact that healing is non-linear (and often messy!), and encourage my clients to cultivate compassion for themselves and the varied journeys that have led them to my virtual space.

You want to thrive. You imagine a life that’s meaningful, manageable & connected. Though you sense your potential, so many influences around and within, pull you away from yourself. Life feels chaotic and you want to make room for what matters most. You need an intuitive and calming helper to feel secure talking about hard things. You want a helper who listens deeply yet is candid to compassionately challenge ingrained assumptions that may keep you stuck. Rather than dwelling in fear-based thoughts, you want to become available to opportunities and connection that await you as you bring your awareness, into the present moment.

Maybe you are dealing with grieving a significant loss, anxiety and depression, adjusting to become a parent, struggle with belonging, or just feel stuck and know that you are ready to do something about it. Just as we require food and rest, we also require intentional time for ourselves. Being deeply seen and heard fortifies our courage to live as we want to live, and love as we want to be loved. Being understood is an investment we make in ourselves. I work to build the sense of trust needed for such vulnerable work and have a thoughtful style of care.

Navigating the world can be stressful and our stress responses can impact us on multiple levels. While trauma and stress may be ever-present, I invite you to consider what else is true. As a therapist, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is trauma-informed AND resilience-informed, moving people from a place of despair to hope. I have experience working with those navigating anxiety, stress and burnout, grief, and trauma. Cultivating resilience helps build the capacity to hold the complexities of life, and integrating the mind and body allows one to respond intentionally and live more fully.

Feeling like you can't enjoy the present moment because you are stuck in your head? Lying awake at night going back through all the things you said today (or last year, or 10 years ago)? Maybe you've created multiple to-do lists and come up with plans and systems to make life easier - yet something is still keeping you stuck. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stresses of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again.

My favorite thing in the world is to affirm for someone that their feelings matter. I want you to feel safe expressing all of your thoughts and emotions. There is no problem too big or too small to talk about. No matter the situation, your reactions and feelings are important. I view therapy as a collaborative process. My clients tell me what they need help with, and we work together to figure out what their best course of action is. My job isn’t to tell you what to do and send you away. My job is to listen to you and empower you to take action to improve your life.
