Do you struggle with feeling like you’re too much and also not good enough? Do you feel like you’re not worthy? If you’re a queer person, do you feel like you're not queer enough? I understand. I’ve felt that way too. Have you always had to be responsible for everyone? Me too. But tell me, who is taking care of you? I can imagine that you are a person who constantly says yes to things, but often notices a sense of resentment afterwards. What about boundaries? You’re probably like boundaries….I don’t know her! The truth is, if you wrestle with any of the things above, you may be struggling with the effects of trauma.
I'm here to help support you, not fix you, as you are not broken! And I'll hold that for you until you can hold that for yourself. I specialize in working with trauma, identity (sexuality, gender identity), and life transitions, such as perimenopause/menopause. I utilize different therapy modalities because not every modality is best for each client.
You deserve a therapist who sees you and hears you. I have lived experience in not being seen or heard. It's so painful. Please know that I've been where you are right now. And there is such a difference on the other side of the pain. It is an honor and privilege to be considered as your partner in your healing journey.

I work with clients, who may be struggling with childhood trauma, sexuality or gender identity, as well as life transitions, including perimenopause/menopause. During our initial sessions, we will collaborate together, build rapport, and create a plan to address your therapy goals. We will work together, observing as your symptoms subside, while we build resilience, confidence, and self-advocacy.

I often blend therapeutic modalities because I don't believe that one therapy modality is beneficial for every client. Each client presents in unique ways, which means with me, I utilize multiple therapy modalities to help support you.
