Have relationships felt challenging? Have you been struggling to communicate and find connection with others? Are you feeling stuck, depressed, or anxious?
I believe that connection and relationships are meant to be fulfilling and healing. I have experience assisting clients in navigating connections and healing from trauma, creating and maintaining healthy relationships, as well as coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also assist clients in building self-esteem, setting healthy boundaries, and exploring identity to find true fulfillment.
I am a relational and collaborative therapist. I have specialized training and experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma related to relationships, family of origin, and life transitions. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed framework using somatic tools, attachment theory, and parts work to help best support you.
I welcome individuals from LGBTQ+, gender diverse, CNM/polyamorous, and kink communities. My current focus is devoted to helping clients discover their authentic self, find safe and affirming relationships, and to allow space for every identity without judgment. My hope is that our work together will guide you to your most authentic and whole self.
