Are you wondering if your life could be more free, authentic, or beautiful than it has been? Maybe you’re trying to find your place in the queer community, or heal from rejection by your loved ones' disapproval of your identity. Are you in the music industry and struggling to balance your wellbeing with the lifestyle? Or you find yourself stuffing down your feelings because you aren’t sure what the hell you’re supposed to do with them? Instead of discouraged and exhausted, you want your life to be full of fulfillment and connection. I help LGBTQIA+, music industry folks, creatives, & adults with trauma cultivate a life they love.
In working together you’ll reconnect to yourself & take agency back over your life. In our sessions you’ll find me to be warm & grounding. I take an active role, so you won’t need to feel the pressure of filling every minute. We’ll get to the root of the real stuff & laugh some along the way. You’ll leave sessions with hope, feedback, & tangible next steps.
I’m a licensed clinical therapist and a trauma specialist with 7 yrs of experience. I’m trained in EMDR and IFS and love using both in session. My clients come to me because I’m open minded and intentional. You can expect me to show up authentically, and I hope you will too.
