You may be feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions, intrusive thoughts, traumatic memories, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling stuck. I specialize in treating PTSD, OCD, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and ADHD, and provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, throuples, polycules, and ethically non-monogamous relationships. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and build practical skills to help you create a life that feels more stable, connected, values-aligned, and worth living.
My work is grounded in DBT, CBT, Prolonged Exposure (PE), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness-based approaches. Therapy is structured, collaborative, and active. Lasting change happens between therapy sessions, so we'll regularly practice skills that support the life you want to build.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. My hope is that you'll find a space where you can be honest, challenged, and genuinely accepted. I combine compassion with direct, evidence-based treatment, and I want to learn more about what you're looking for and whether we're a good fit.

Treatment may involve learning new skills, improving relationships, approaching feared situations (gradually), processing traumatic experiences, or changing behaviors that no longer serve you.

I often use DBT skills, mindfulness practices, and exposure-based approaches in my work. Therapy is active, structured, and collaborative. You'll learn practical skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and approaching fears gradually so that change extends beyond the therapy room.
