You might be here because something in you hurts. That may be an emotional, physical, or relational pain. You may be grieving a loss, navigating the stress of a chronic illness, struggling with anxiety or depression, or feeling the impact of a past trauma. You might also be carrying the pain of being misunderstood or excluded. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I understand what it feels like to be overlooked or judged for experiences others find hard to face, and this fuels my passion for working with individuals who have been marginalized, misunderstood, dismissed, unseen, or told their pain is too much.

I provide tools to support parenting children in order to create lasting change and improve the mental and emotional health of the whole family.
All families deserve to enjoy each other during formative stages of their lives, and experience the joys that come with them. Parenting is such a uniquely challenging job and parents have so many voices and information about what is "right" or "wrong" to do, and it can be extremely overwhelming. There are too many possible directions to go with no roadmap.

Therapy is a deeply personal and individual journey. Finding a person you connect with and understands you is vital to this work. My own experience of having Major Depression heavily influences my work as a therapist. I approach my clients with a lot of empathy and patience in pursuit of your goals and reasons for seeking therapy to begin with. I believe that a meaningful life is found in that tense space between acceptance and change.
