I am a culturally aware, kink-aware, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who truly values diversity of identity and experience. I have experience supporting people navigating childhood trauma, attachment wounds, and relational struggles, whether romantic, platonic, or familial. I’ve had particular success working with individuals living with borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, and treatment-resistant depression, using a trauma-informed lens that meets you with care and curiosity. In therapy, we take time to understand how those experiences might be showing up now and make space to reflect, feel, and choose what to carry forward.

Trauma affects every person uniquely and can show up in different ways across a person’s life. With this in mind, I prioritize building a foundation of safety and trust, assembling the necessary resources before directly addressing trauma. I support clients in developing soothing, grounding, and regulation skills that can be used both in therapy and in everyday life. I view clients as active participants in their healing process, and foster a sense of agency and empowerment from the start. I also recognize the role of family and broader systems have on the therapeutic journey and work to include those systems in the therapy space.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.
