Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step a little easier. Whether you’re feeling anxious or depressed, navigating complex family dynamics, discovering your identity, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help. I work with individuals, couples, and families, and I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ identities, oppression, parenting challenges, and interpersonal conflict. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and systemic. Tailored to your unique needs and goals. I want to empower you to take the driver’s seat in your own life.
I use a systemic approach to therapy and view you as the expert in your own life. My role is to adjust and tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. I often draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential, emotion-focused, and collaborative therapy techniques.
It’s important to me to create an environment where you don’t feel anxious or worried about sharing your thoughts and feelings. I value clear, open communication and am always receptive to feedback so I can better meet your needs. My style is laid-back, conversational, and approachable.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and fierce advocate for LGBTQIA individuals and other marginalized communities, I provide a warm, inclusive space where you can feel safe, seen, and empowered. I recognize that healing often takes place within systems of power and oppression, and I'm comfortable addressing how those dynamics impact your life and mental health.

My style is laid-back, conversational, and approachable. I enjoy incorporating humor into sessions when it feels helpful (which is, ironically, perhaps the least humorous sentence ever written). I bring a calm, patient presence to our work, and I'm not easily offended. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard.
