I have years of experience in working with the exploration of gender, including working with children, adolescents, and adults who identify as trans* or nonbinary.

You can do hard things... that’s what led you here! Welcome. I hope you feel proud of ‘showing up’ today. We all want and deserve to feel seen; yet it is often uncomfortable for us to invite in vulnerability and allow others to see us, genuinely and authentically as we are. Sometimes, it’s even hard for us to see and accept ourselves. I believe strong therapeutic alliances and environments foster safe and brave space to explore existential questions, sit with thoughts and feelings, challenge internalized messages, societal norms, expectations and systems that cause us to feel boxed in.

If you have been thinking about speaking with a therapist, chances are that it’s time. Talking to a stranger about the most intimate details of your life can be an intimidating feat to overcome, and being vulnerable can be scary.

I recognize the importance of developing a genuine connection that feels like a ‘natural fit,’ and aim to make you feel unconditionally accepted and supported. My specialty is helping young adults and adolescents that suffer from anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Deciding to begin psychotherapy is one of the kindest and most important choices you can make for yourself.

Hello there! My ideal client is aware that therapy is work and most of the change occurs in between sessions by practicing skills you learn with me. If you are in a therapy room with me, you will meet a human who has gone through many of the struggles you have. I am someone who will meet you with compassion, but will also hold you accountable for your behaviors. I will show up as a real person who will laugh and joke with you, but I will also hold your emotional pain until you are ready to hold onto it on your own. If this is what you are looking for in a psychologist, I very much hope you reach out so we can chat some more!

As a fellow survivor and recovering people-pleaser, I understand the struggle of adapting yourself to predefined roles and how exhausting it can be trying to fit in.

Whether you struggle with high-functioning anxiety, toxic relationships, or healing from childhood trauma, I welcome you to get curious about what your mind and body are telling you. It’s time to be unapologetic about who you are and the value you add to this world!
