Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Whether navigating trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, substance use, or relationship stress, you deserve a space to feel seen. I offer a warm, affirming environment where all parts of you are welcome—especially the ones you’ve had to hide. In individual therapy, early sessions focus on understanding you and your history, including family, relationships, and broader systems/norms that shape us. In relational work, we begin by strengthening how communication is held and mutual understanding is built, creating a foundation and capacity for deeper work.
I specialize in trauma recovery, emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, queer and trans support, addiction, religious trauma, and relational healing. As well as supporting first responders and military veterans navigating PTSD, moral injury, and the challenges of reintegration. My work is trauma-informed and relational.
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—and you don’t have to do this alone. If you’re looking for a therapist who approaches your experiences with care, curiosity, and respect for your complexity, I’d be glad to connect. Together, we can explore what support looks like for you and whether working together feels like a good fit.

In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and what you're hoping for. I integrate somatic, relational, and trauma-focused approaches with tools from IFS, DBT, and mindfulness. We'll build insight, tend to nervous system overwhelm, and create space for healing that honors your identity, story, and pace.
