Why not, just at the end, Just Be Kind? -Doctor Who Does it feel like life is stressing you out? Does it feel like there is this tension, but you don't know what it is? It takes effort to drop all those things that bother you daily. I work with people who are ready to find a safe, supportive space to explore what they need in therapy—whether that's healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, coping with chronic illness, or simply navigating life's challenges. Together, we'll work to understand what’s not working, and build healthier habits that support the life you want.
I’m trained in evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is collaborative and grounded in creating safety, so that real change can happen at your own pace. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether this is your first time, or you've had therapy before, you are welcome.
Therapy does not have to be an experience that you are forced along. Each person's life experience is unique. My goal is to provide compassionate and non-judgmental therapy and I enjoy working with college students, young professionals, transgender and non gender conforming clients, people with chronic illness along with the queer, kink and poly communities.

Each session is designed based on what you are needing at that point in your journey. We may weave trauma work in with therapy focusing on various other roles in your life so that you are doing the trauma work on your past, while still working on the present. Some sessions may be purely working on resolving traumas that need to be currently addressed. It is up to you and your comfort level.
