I strive to provide a safe and non judgmental space for my clients to be their most authentic selves. I work with adults and couples seeking support with relationships, career changes, managing anxiety and depressive symptoms, and those wanting assistance with processing stages of grief or healing from trauma. I have specific training in Infertility treatment and the family building process. I know this process can be difficult and I want you to know that it takes a lot of courage to seek out support.

I consider my style to be direct and collaborative. I have experience both personally and professionally with working with LGBTQIA+ folks. I view healing from a holistic perspective and I am passionate about educating clients on our relationship between our minds and bodies in the healing process.

I know that it takes courage to seek out therapy services and just know that you deserve to feel seen and heard. Take your time with this process. If my profile is speaking to you, feel free to email or call me. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
