9.2024 - Accepting direct-pay clients. Are you here because you feel overwhelmed, stressed, sad, or overly anxious? Perhaps you have experienced a major change in your life that makes the day-to-day harder than it ever was before. My gentle approach can assist with issues of depression, stress, and anxiety as a compassionate, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed psychodynamically oriented therapist, helping you bring back joy into your relationships and your life. Our work together will guide you through challenges and obstacles to find greater well-being and satisfaction in your life.

My clients are cis- and non-binary, non-monogamous, kinky, LGBTQIA+, folx with disabilities/chronic pain, and bodies of all sizes. All are welcome. I see you within your context, history, relations, and intersecting identities. My clients cultivate their authenticity, rewrite their deeply held narratives, and claim their autonomy.
As a relational and person-centered therapist, I recognize the role trauma, anxiety, and defenses play in our relationship with ourselves and our loved ones. I am committed to finding a pace and approach that leads you to deeper self-awareness, self-compassion, and renewed identity. I bring humor, playfulness, compassion, and a wealth of lived experience.
