Starting therapy can feel daunting - especially when you're carrying the weight of past pain, questioning who you are, or simply trying to stay afloat in a world that doesn’t always offer space to breathe. I work with people who are ready to make sense of it all and find home within themselves.

I work through a psychodynamic lens to make sense of the past and its impact on the present. I offer trauma-informed care and integrate EMDR, IFS, and DBT for people when it makes sense for them.

I want therapy to feel like a space where you can breathe. Where your complexity is welcomed, your story is honored, and hope can begin to take root (even if things feel difficult right now). If you’re curious, feel free to reach out to schedule a call so we can see if we’re a good fit! Hope to hear from you soon.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
EMDR
IFS-Informed Therapist
Psychodynamic

I come from a Psychodynamic perspective, which examines how the past impacts our present. I also utilize EMDR for clients seeking an alternative to traditional talk therapy. EMDR is an amazing tool that not only treats "Big T" trauma, but a host of other mental health issues (anxiety, depression, self-criticism, internalized homophobia, etc).
