Congratulations on taking the first step towards working on your mental health! Looking for a therapist can be a difficult process, so I commend you for the hard work you've already done. Living in a state of fight/flight, fear, anxiety, stress, uncertainty, and instability can wreak havoc on the mind and body. Therapy with me means you'll have the chance to gain deeper understandings, insights, and perspectives into yourself and your world, how to work with various stuck parts of yourself, how to recognize your own power and choices, and how to process difficult feelings in a safe, embodied way.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing trauma and anxiety. I also love working with LGBTQIA+ folks, teachers, and healthcare workers. I mostly work from an existential and relational approach, and I incorporate various therapeutic modalities. I have training in trauma-informed counseling, IFS (parts work), nervous system work, and DBT.

I personally understand just how difficult, yet rewarding, this process can be. My biggest goal as a therapist is to make sure I create a safe, unconditionally supportive, judgement free space for you to process, be yourself, and experience genuine connection. My hope is that this is an empowering process for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today!

I approach anxiety and trauma work in a curious and gentle way, with emphasis on safely and slowly expanding tolerance to feel emotions. The goal is to process these emotions out in a way that may not have been possible in the past. We will break down protective/defensive parts of self, explore belief systems, and deeply examine how much power and choice you have in cultivating a peaceful life.

I believe there is no "right or wrong" way to do therapy, and we may approach things in an exploratory way.
