I am a licensed therapist and addictions counselor certified in EMDR. I believe in the indomitable strength of the human spirit; that the dreams of all people never end. Experiencing a painful moment, personal upheavals, or people just not ‘getting’ how your brain or nervous system works can profoundly impair your relationships, sense of well-being, and identity. I deeply understand the importance of meaning, narrative, and creativity in the healing journey. Whether the same passions are shared or not, I genuinely desire to create space for you to share yours enthusiastically as we collaborate in enhancing and unsticking your life.
I work well across the neurodiversity spectrum and respectfully seek to be actively responsive to however you best understand and interpret the world. I draw from Buddhist psychology, years of personal practice, and my professional training to target traumatic memories and distressing emotions. My practice emphasizes connection, non-judgment, and empowerment
I provide the skills, support, and resources to help you learn to soothe your nervous system, connect with your values, and normalize being human. I am supportive of whatever identities or relationships empower and affirm you (including kink/nontraditional). I look forward to connecting and learning about you, what you seek, and how we can get there.

I believe every individual has inherent worth, strengths, and resilience which can be used to actualize their goals and heal themselves. Early sessions focus on learning about you before building skills that enhance regulation and working through the issues at hand. I believe in normalizing the vast and sometimes difficult experience of being human in the healing journey through connection.

I am trained to target traumatic memories, distressing emotions, and beliefs using EMDR. I also incorporate IFS to help resolve and integrate the parts in conflict within ourselves. Drawing from my own passion for geek culture, I know how important it is to incorporate the stories and interests that are most important to you. I may utilize CBT, mindfulness, DBT, or self-compassion as needed.
