I’m a therapist specializing in women’s mental health, with a focus on supporting women through some of life’s most vulnerable and transformative experiences. I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and deeply supportive — a place where you don’t have to explain or minimize your story, and where healing happens at your pace.
A large part of my work centers on sexual trauma and trauma recovery. I approach this work with gentleness, respect, and a strong trauma-informed foundation. My goal is to help you rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and connection with yourself, without pressure or re-traumatization.

I work with adults at life’s thresholds who are feeling stuck, carrying old wounds, or longing for deeper meaning. Therapy becomes a space to pause, explore your inner landscape, and navigate the edges of who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Together we illuminate patterns, open new possibilities, and create a life that feels more authentic, connected, and aligned.

I've worn many hats in my career, including teaching, small business owner, & artist. I specialize in adolescent trauma, early childhood intervention, and supporting families with children who have disabilities. My goal is to help families understand diagnoses and advocate for their children, making the journey through challenges more manageable. Using Internal Family Systems, along with DBT and CBT modalities, I address the impact of addiction on individuals and families through a harm reduction approach. I also enjoy empowering young adults to recognize their potential and providing a safe space for them to share their stories.

Sometimes it's hard to see the way through difficult times while bogged down by anxious or depressive thoughts and emotions or haunted by the past. Let's figure it out together.

I've been practicing since 2019 in a variety of therapy settings. My main specialty is trauma but I often work with issues related to divorce, anxiety, and life transitions.

I am a therapist who works with others to define and pursue meaning and paths forward throughout the therapeutic relationship. The human-to-human relationship is the most important aspect of any therapeutic relationship. Everyone has their rock bottoms and dreaded low points, some more frequent than others, and it is in these moments that we seek out our most precious memories and experiences, drawing upon the peace we have felt from others to garner hope for a future with more light to come. At times, we have to be creative, and I strive to be one of these lights in the minds and hearts of my clients in these inevitable moments.

Most of my clients are people in search of deep, meaningful change or healing, and have had trouble getting started.

As an AuDHD, queer & disabled therapist, I get it: it's hard to find someone who understands. Attunement means harmony - let's find it together.
