Currently operating on a waitlist, with awesome colleagues to refer to as well. My ideal client was raised with a slightly "messed up" childhood, which they laugh about but say they are "over it". But, they may be having some concerns in their current relationship dynamics. Or perhaps there's people pleasing behaviors or chronic overachievers. They may be asking themselves- why is this a pattern for me? This curiosity can lead to powerful transformations, less stress, and healthier boundaries.
I specialize in a variety of modalities, including EMDR. I offer assessments for gender-affirming care for the trans community. For professionals, I enjoy providing consultation and supervision to new and seasoned practitioners. I pride myself in a very authentic counseling experience, complete with swearing and a safe space for dark humor.
You don't need anything wrong with you to talk to someone. I do my best to support you while working within the shitty constraints of insurance billing and expectations and will always have a frank conversation with you about treatment duration, diagnoses, and expectations.

I try to make therapy as accessible as possible. Cash pay allows for greater flexibility in terms of your treatment. I do, however, accept some insurance, knowing that cash pay can be a barrier to care.

I specialize in trauma and love supporting the LGBTQ plus community. All clients receive a free consultation to make sure I'm a good fit. Then we do an intake session- aka the "life story" session, where we conclude with goal setting and a discussion of treatment frequency and duration.

I don't use one specific modality in our sessions. Each person is unique and the modalities I use are tailored to you and your goals. For example, some people really want tangible homework- like worksheets. Other people don't. Some people love mindfulness- others want "hippie" stuff kept away from them. We work that out, together, in the course of your treatment.
