My goal is to create a compassionate and affirming space where you feel safe to be yourself without fear of judgment. Together we'll work to better understand your experiences, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that feels more authentic to you. I have a special passion for supporting the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ population both in an individual and couples therapy setting. My role is to meet you with compassion, curiosity, and respect while helping you build on your strengths, navigate life's challenges, and to live as the best version of yourself.
Whether you are seeking individual therapy or couples counseling, we will work together to better understand your experiences, strengthen communication, build emotional resilience, and create lasting change. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, alexithymia, sexual concerns and interpersonal stress.
I truly believe one of the most important factors in choosing a therapist is finding someone you can be comfortable with. Because of this, I always offer a free 15-minute consultation with my potential clients. Please reach out if you have any questions or want to get to know me better!
