Are you feeling like you’re stuck on a rollercoaster? Like you’re caught in this unpredictable cycle, you don’t have control over your own life, and, no matter how hard you try, you always end up falling again with this sense of dread, panic, or emptiness? We can start to change that so you can interrupt this cycle, gain trust in yourself, and healthily bear the inevitable lows that life brings you without them being catastrophic. Whether you want to process complex trauma, learn how to better regulate your emotions, or reevaluate your relationship with others, with yourself, or with substance use, we’ll work on it together.
I work with adults, teenagers, and people in relationships. We’ll unravel the web of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so we can explore the patterns causing distress in your life and develop practical tools for you to access when you need them. My philosophy's rooted in harm reduction, which creates a curious, nonjudgemental therapeutic space.
As a queer and gender nonconforming therapist, I especially value working with LGBTQ+ clients, clients navigating addiction, and clients whose access to quality care has been limited by social or economic factors. Get started with me by reaching out with your questions or by scheduling a free, 15-minute phone consult to see if I'm a good fit for you!
