Introduction

As a therapist, I am dedicated to cultivating a safe and empowering space where you can share and explore all aspects of yourself and your life story. I work therapeutically through an integrative lens that prioritizes the relationship between you and me. It is my goal for us to work together to uncover and process any painful or unhelpful patterns, thoughts, and experiences that have created roadblocks in your life. And while sometimes these roadblocks can feel insurmountable, we all hold within ourselves the capacity for healing and growth. It is my hope, that you come away from our time together with a greater sense of self-understanding, internal and somatic awareness, and personal agency. I know taking the first steps to start therapy and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. So, thank you for being here and I’d be honored to support you in your journey. I am an LGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity-affirming therapist.
