I specialize in working with adolescents and adults with trauma histories, neurodivergence, and addictions but enjoy helping clients work through the wide variety of challenges we are daily presented with. I see clients individually, as couples and families, and in group settings. I am gender-affirming, LGTBQIA2S+ allied, and sex-/kink-positive. I am also a huge nerd and love integrating all the things you love into therapy. I see therapy as a place where you can feel safe being you and can learn to love yourself and live fully embodying all that makes you you.
I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, am a certified Integrative Somatic Trauma therapist, a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, an ASD Clinical Specialist, and an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. I work primarily from a therapeutic outlook that integrates trauma-informed, ND-affirming, cognitive interventions and somatic trauma work.
If I were to choose a quote to summarize my therapeutic outlook, it would be: “Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.” (Mr. Rogers) I feel that I have the great honor and privilege of assisting you in the journey of mental health and learning how to love who you are.

I am integrative, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming. I believe mental health is as much about learning to love yourself as it is about making healthy changes. I work primarily from a therapeutic outlook that integrates trauma-informed cognitive interventions and somatic trauma work while respecting the natural differences that make us unique. Different can and should be good.
