Maybe you’ve been carrying too much for too long. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, burned out, or just not like yourself. Or perhaps you're not even sure what you're feeling—only that you want something to shift. That’s where I come in.
I work with adults from all walks of life who are ready (or almost ready!) to feel more grounded, clear, and connected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, or life’s inevitable curveballs, therapy is a place where we make sense of the mess—and build something better from it.
With over 15 years of experience, I blend real talk with real strategies. I use EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches to help you unpack the past, stay grounded in the present, and create a future that feels like yours.
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ folks, but my practice is open to anyone who’s seeking honest, affirming, and down-to-earth support. I understand how hard it can be to reach out for support, especially when you’ve been holding it together for everyone else. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
