I believe that therapy is a dynamic experience that can be extremely helpful for lots of people. The process of changing ones life for the better is often a difficult one that requires support and understanding. In my therapy practice I strive to be that supportive guide that many individuals need to get to the next level of existence. I believe that overcoming is not an event, it is a process. Whether one is overcoming depression, relationship issues, or traumatic life experiences, support and thoughtful guidance is often key in recovery.

I’m a queer-affirming therapist specializing in trauma and identity, and I feel deeply honored by the trust my clients place in me. I support people navigating life’s changes—loss, grief, transitions, trauma, anxiety, and depression—and I’m continually inspired by their courage, resilience, and ability to find joy. Working with the queer and questioning community brings me profound fulfillment, and as an older, gender-expansive individual, I’m especially passionate about helping both young and older adults explore their identities. I also feel a unique connection to those who have experienced adoption.

Many of us walk around thinking that we should be happier, that we're missing an inner sense of vitality.

I have worked with a wide variety of clients across my careers, and I have found that we are all more human than not. I practice from a trauma-informed lens and believe that true healing is always possible.
