Feeling misunderstood or going through a tough time?
It can be hard to find your footing when you feel out of sync with the world around you. If you're looking for a safe, open, and non-judgmental space to process life’s challenges, I’m here to help.
I work with adults navigating identity, stress, and the complexities of being human—especially in environments where your values or experiences may not feel accepted. I’m proud to offer an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space where you can be your authentic self.
Heads-up: my sweet senior pup, Cosmo, is usually in session with me (he’s not a fan of staying home alone). See pic below.
I have worked with adolescents and adults experiencing things like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, gender, non-binary and/or sexuality dysphoria, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, religious trauma, and life transitions. I am a member of Postpartum Support International and have 10+ years of experience working with women in the perinatal period.
I believe therapy is like other important relationships – it is often based on trust and the willingness to be open and honest. I will help guide you through challenging times in life while validating your experience and empowering you to make changes when necessary. I enjoy using meditation and mindfulness in my practice as requested by clients.
