Specialties: Anxiety and panic disorders Depression General relationship challenges (family, friends, co-workers, all genders, LGBTQ+) Grief and loss Life transitions
Human beings all need one thing; and that is to feel loved and cared for. Our lives have often left us with past trauma and scars. It is universal. Although some stories are worse than others, each one of us needs to work through some level of pain in order to grow and succeed. Our stories are important. They should be told and shared. Everything we have experienced has made us who we are today. We often seek the familiar and repeat old patterns of behavior which no longer serve us. Change is possible. Telling your story to another who listens and cares can have great healing effects. I am ready to listen.

We’ll talk about the real stuff, the grief, the rage, the weird coping mechanisms, the moments you actually laughed when you thought you’d cry.
My work is rooted in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed care, guided by a deep respect for your lived experiences. I weave together Narrative Therapy, Queer Theory, and Postmodern perspectives to compassionately explore how culture, systems, and identities influence the stories we carry. Alongside these frameworks, I gently incorporate DBT and CBT.

Transformative therapy goes beyond support or feeling good, it also supports us facing grief and pain that is too difficult to face alone.
I am a relational therapist who specializes in working with people who are interested in finding more success in their relationships to themselves, others, and the world around them. I help my clients learn how to cope with symptoms that are getting in the way of being more authentically them, this includes depression, anxiety, and trauma. There's many reasons why we reach out for help; maybe you're interested in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, or wondering how to move on from an unbearable heartbreak. Therapy is a truly collaborative effort and I hope we can create a space for reflection and forward direction.
