Feeling stuck in the cycle of anxiety?
Are relationships overwhelming, leaving you feeling misunderstood? Have other therapists told you you're "too much"? Have you been dismissed with advice like just pray about it?
You're not alone—and you're in the right place.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of Borderline Personality Disorder, trauma, and more with science-based, secular therapy methods that prioritize your unique needs and experiences.
I also offer expert, compassionate care for the LGBTQIA+ and poly/kink communities as well as those seeking gender-affirming support.
Certified in cognitive processing therapy, Smart Recovery facilitator Member: Secular Therapist Project, Certified Attention Deficit Consultant, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Letters for Gender Affirming Care
When I decided to start a private practice in 2013, I realized the value of being able to offer a positive approach to individuals. Our goal together is to instill hope, health, and fun into life. I believe in the power of love and laughter through "carefrontation" of the issues we face in our lives.
