Immediate openings (in-person or telehealth sessions) available. Are you grappling with difficult thoughts, feelings, or experiences? Are you looking to unpack how past experiences show up in your day-to-day life? This work can feel daunting or difficult to do alone, and it can feel extremely vulnerable. This is probably why you're seeking an insightful and compassionate therapist; someone who can assist you in building coping skills and alleviating the symptoms you encounter, while meeting you where you're at. I hope to provide the services you need to meet your mental health goals.

I utilize various modalities with particular fondness for Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Trauma-Focused CBT. I use intersectional feminist and anti-racist frameworks to shape my practice. My expertise is in working with adults who identify as LGBTQ+ or Disabled and Chronically Ill.

Together, I hope to build a supportive environment where you feel safe to unpack your feelings and experiences. Ultimately, my role as your therapist is to help you meet your goals and discover how you can heal and grow. Please reach out via email to set up a consultation.
