I am a Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LADC) and under supervision to become a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I specialize in trauma, LGBTQ+ affirming care, substance use, neurodivergence, dissociation, relationship issues, and grief. My work combines Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, and harm reduction, which is tailored to your specific needs. Together, we'll help you discover hope, meaning, a deeper understanding of your identity, and a new direction in life.
I enjoy finding ways to make therapy accessible through creativity, teamwork, and curiosity. Healing happens within a secure space where you are heard. All aspects of yourself and experiences are welcome to be acknowledged here. Your special interests, hobbies, media, fandoms, and jokes are, too!
For collaboration and empowerment on your journey, I use anti-oppressive, queer, and sex-positive approaches in my practice. My service dog, Juno, is equally enthusiastic about coming to work each day. I look forward to connecting for a consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit! :)

My therapy style is queer and neurodivergent affirming, and greatly trauma-informed. I am always dedicated to offering care that aligns with your lived experiences, needs, and feedback. Everyone has the potential to be the best "you" that you can be, and it would be an honor to achieve this together!
