Welcome! Healing is a process that is unique to each of us. I bring an eclectic approach to therapy in order to help you find the healing path that best fits you and your needs. As a therapist, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is critical to assisting you in being able to create the life you most want. You will find a non-judgmental safe space in which you are welcome as the person you are and the person you hope to be. Are you a veteran looking for a group to process your experiences, work through reintegration, reduce substance use or learn skills to help you in your day to day life? Join our support group.
I specialize in treating LGBTQIA+ folx, providing identity affirming care, and work with polyamorous relationships. I am also trauma-informed and work with veterans, first responders, teenagers, and adults who live with a variety of struggles that can include PTSD, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, chronic health conditions, and life transitions.
You will find that my core belief is no one is a diagnosis, we all live with different struggles. In our session you can expect to feel heard and supported and to walk away with practical tools to help you manage difficulties. Think we would be a good fit? Reach out via email or phone. I'm accepting new telehealth clients. Weekday appointments are available.
