Rather than asking what’s “wrong” with you, I ask, “What’s right about you?” Together, we explore how to use your strengths to create a life you truly love waking up to each morning.

I love working with clients in the LGBTQIA+ community. It can be challenging to navigate living in America with the current political climate surrounding identities.

If you’re looking for a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or reassurance that you’re doing things the “right” way according to mainstream standards, you likely won’t find that here.
I work with women who don’t fully resonate with conventional systems and want support that honors their intuition as much as their mental health. Women who are thoughtful about what they consume, how they give birth, how they parent, and how they live. My role isn’t to fix you or fit you into a system. It’s to help you find clarity, encourage regulation, and stay grounded in your choices in a world that often challenges them.

If you’re looking for therapy that is thoughtful, goal-directed, and grounded in evidence, I may be a good fit. Many of the clients I work with appear to be managing well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck internally. These concerns may follow trauma, develop in response to chronic stress, or emerge as anxiety or sleep difficulties that begin to interfere with quality of life.
