Are you ready to explore the systems and experiences that have shaped who you are today? My approach is deeply rooted in curiosity about your unique journey, focusing on attachment styles, parts theory, and personal needs. I believe in a collaborative, trauma-informed process that allows me to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll create a safe and compassionate space for self-exploration, growth, and healing. I know you have the inner tools to navigate difficult times, and I’m here to help you discover those strengths.
I have experience working with individuals and couples, with a special passion for supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, male-identifying individuals, and diverse relationship structures. As part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I understand the importance of self-discovery and aim to empower you in your identity and relationships.
Outside of the office, you can find me spending quality time with my partner and our cats, playing ice hockey, or on my daily walk (with a true crime podcast playing, of course!).
