What does it mean to truly know yourself? To me, therapy isn’t about fitting into a neat, pre-packaged box; it’s about discovering who you are when the old scripts no longer work. I balance an analytical, perceptive mind with a naturally warm, empathetic presence. Together, we will create a space where you can safely unpack your heaviest burdens without fear of judgment, uncovering the deep insights that are already within you. Your well-being is deeply connected to your history, your environment, and your physical body. I also have a particular affinity for working with artists, activists, and other healing professionals.
I use a culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed lens and blend a variety of approaches to tailor our work together to your needs - I truly believe that therapy should be as unique as you are. I value warmth, authenticity, compassion, and humor in the therapy room and seek to make you feel safe, supported, and empowered in our work together.
Making the decision to seek therapy and taking the first steps to finding a therapist can be one of the hardest, but most rewarding, decisions a person can make. If you're reading this, I want to commend you for finding the courage to take this leap! I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to see if I could be the right fit for you.
