I offer an in depth, diversity affirming approach to psychotherapy. I am passionate about providing clients with meaningful and effective services tailored to each person. My training, experience, and skill-set uniquely qualifies me to work within the intersections of addictions, attachment issues, traumatic experiences, and relationship issues. I engage with clients deeply to allow them to experience life more fully. Many people cover their genuine feelings to protect themselves from pain. I strive to create a safe environment where trust can be developed in the therapeutic relationship so that clients can gradually rely less on their need to protect themselves through self-destructive patterns.

I meet my clients where they are at emotionally & try provide guidance at any stage of change they are at. I can keep it very formal & clinical but I consider myself more of a guide/coach to help you navigate all of your "life stuff" including work, family, relationships, depression, anxiety, ADHD & other common diagnoses. I spent 8 years fully specializing in all things LGBTQ+ including identity & gender affirming letters/assessments for HRT & Surgical Interventions. Over the past 3 years I've also ventured into spirituality & have been integrating this into my coaching practices by exploring non-traditional treatment modalities.

Trauma happens when stressful experiences deplete our physical, mental, or emotional resources. Unresolved traumas can persist as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, physical pain or illness, and other distressing symptoms that wreak havoc on our daily lives. I do not believe that we "get over" our traumas, but rather that we find a way through them. As your therapist, I will walk beside you as you navigate your trauma journey and regain ownership over your personal story.

NOTE: Not currently taking clients interested in EMDR. Our minds can hold conflict within that influences conflict with how we move throughout the world. Our experiences impact how we handle conflict. Whether that be from loss, life changes, trauma, anxiety, depression, or ADHD, our responses can change. Self-awareness, self-acceptance, and showing up for ourselves can incite the growth we seek. Someone holding a private, safe space for us to unload and sift through the clutter in our minds provides a gift to ourselves of more room in our life to move away from conflicts and toward where we want to be.
