Do you find yourself prioritizing others' needs while struggling to make space for your own? Are stress and overwhelm taking a toll on you? If you're ready to explore, heal, and grow, know that seeking support is a courageous step toward change. I specialize in working long-term with clients who value a strong therapeutic relationship—one that offers support through both challenges and successes. Together, in a safe and compassionate space, we’ll navigate obstacles as a collaborative team.
I blend different approaches informed by feminist and social justice frameworks to create a personalized plan that suits your unique needs. I provide trauma-informed care to help you build resilience and leverage your strengths. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, or just need someone to talk to, we'll work together to find your path forward.
My counseling style is all about being real and engaged; my goal is to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard. In our sessions you can expect authentic connection, shared emotions, honest feedback, and even some laughs.

I work with clients who are people pleasers, overthinkers, who are burnt out. I also specialize in working with therapists looking to be human (for once!) and individuals navigating non-conforming relationships in a mono/hetero-normative world. I enjoy long term relationships with my clients who typically see gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
