I specialize in work with the LGBTQIA+ community, Autism/ADHD, and others traditionally ignored and unwelcome in mainstream healthcare. Anti- racism and fighting all oppression is central to my practice. I’m neurodivergent myself, and love working with others who fall into this category, with or without an official diagnosis. My primary approach is Internal Family Systems, but I utilize a unique blend of methods to accommodate each individual client's needs.
My specialty is my systemic approach. Whether it’s trauma, career, past relationships etc., our mental health is impacted by many things. Thankfully, we each have a unique inner voice to help us know what we need and want. I’m here to empower you to listen to that voice and make the changes you need to feel better.
You know when you see a TikTok about mental health or relationships and think, “this is about me!” Let’s talk about it. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. It’s too much! If you feel ready to make a change, email me or book an appointment through my website.

Life never goes to plan. Your treatment plan will evolve as you and your life do. We start by deeply understanding your mental health goals. With these goals always in mind, we then collaborate on ways to address the obstacles you face. Most of my clients begin to feel a decrease in symptoms within a few sessions. We then work together to continue and further that improvement.

I use many different types of therapy as every client is unique. My favorite methods help us examine how we communicate with ourselves and others, and how our emotions impact that. During therapy, we'll work to find clarity in your thoughts and feelings and help you decide what to do with them.
