All humans want to feel heard, seen, and valued. Regardless of who you are or what you are facing, I am focused on creating a safe space, meeting you where you are, building a strong rapport, and enhancing your emotional and body literacy. I love working with individuals across many demographics and am experienced in supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with a variety of challenges. I am a relatable and compassionate therapist focused on helping you identify and achieve your short and long-term goals.
You deserve a judgment-free therapeutic experience. I am a trauma specialist with extensive training in depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, substance use disorders and addictions, self-esteem, and women-focused challenges. I also provide LGBTQ+-affirming care, harm reduction-centered practices, and helping clients heal from trauma.
Let's face it: life is hard. Not every moment has to be. You are not alone. I am here to walk alongside you regardless of whatever you're facing. Trusting a new therapist can be incredibly challenging; I get it. Let's take this process one step at a time.
