I became a therapist because I'd witnessed too many people harmed by judgmental, dismissive professionals, and I wanted to be different. I'm open-minded and affirming; there's nothing you could share that would make me judge you. I approach therapy as a genuine partnership where we co-create a space for real change together. My work spans individuals, couples, and families across all ages, addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, gender identity, relationship dynamics, parenting challenges, and so much more. I'm particularly committed to serving LGBTQIA+ clients, those exploring diverse sexualities and kink, and anyone who's felt like an outsider. I draw from multiple approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, family systems, and expressive arts, because I believe in meeting you where you are with creativity and flexibility. I'll respectfully challenge you when needed, but always with kindness. I teach practical coping skills and emotional regulation techniques you can actually use. Most importantly, I treat mind and body as one integrated system, and I'm fiercely in your corner. I offer telehealth sessions and am currently accepting new clients on a private-pay basis. I am working on being independently credentialied so I will be accpeting insurance soon.
