I help neurodivergent, LGBTQ, and polyamorous adults navigate trauma, identity, connection, and overwhelm so they can build stable, grounded, authentic lives. I offer Brainspotting for clients who want a body-based approach to trauma, anxiety, depression, or impulse control, as well as for improving performance issues and physical pain. My practice is LGBTQ-affirming and poly-informed, providing a safe and knowledgeable space for individual, relationship, and family counseling
My work integrates social justice, family systems, art therapy, Brainspotting, and evidence-based approaches like CBT. Together, these create an intuitive and practical therapy experience that builds insight, emotional resilience, and more confident, connected relationships.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to explore new ways of relating to yourself and others, I’d be honored to support you. Therapy can be a place to rebuild clarity, confidence, and connection. I currently have a few openings for new clients.

My work with individuals often combines CBT and Brainspotting. You'll learn how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another, and develop concrete skills to create meaningful change. This is paired with brain-body processing to help you move through the deeper issues, responses or emotions that feel stuck. The experience is both practical and healing, meeting you exactly where you are.
