Life can be heavy, complicated, and sometimes messy. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe that all humans are beautifully complex and deserve a space to be seen, heard, and valued. I prioritize creating a nonjudgmental environment where you can explore thoughts, feelings, and identities openly and authentically. I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to be fully ourselves. Even amid the heaviness, there is room for laughter, which I believe can be part of the healing process too.
My approach to therapy is rooted in psychoanalytic, trauma-informed, Acceptance & Commitment therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) frameworks. I am also a gender-affirming therapist and practice from a sex and kink-positive perspective, honoring all aspects of sexuality and experience.
Whether you’re seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, navigating life choices, or sexual concerns, we will create a therapeutic plan that aligns with your needs. Together we can move towards greater self-understanding, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection with yourself.
