Hi! I'm so glad you found your way here. If you feel stuck in rumination, intrusive thoughts, or self-doubt, know that you're not alone and that change is possible. I work with individuals and couples and I specialize in anxiety, OCD, trauma, and sex and relationship issues. My therapy style is gentle and kind, but direct - I won't shy away from asking you the tough questions. Together we can understand the patterns that keep you stuck, build self-confidence, improve your relationships, and implement changes to get you to where you want to be.
I offer evidence-based psychotherapy treatment to address the problems in your life. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, tailoring them to suit your needs. I am here to help you recognize what might be standing in the way of your goals, address unhelpful thought patterns, manage uncomfortable emotions, and develop healthy coping skills.
Life is hard—you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are. As a BIPOC-, disability-, LGBTQ+, and sex worker–affirming therapist, I strive to create a place where all parts of you are respected and supported. I am here for you when you're ready.
