Trauma profoundly influences our lens on the world and impacts emotional, physical, and mental well-being. I take an integrative approach, drawing from psychodynamic and systems perspectives to support understanding of internal experiences and their relational contexts. I create a supportive space for clients to reflect and process their experiences, while drawing on their inherent ability to heal and grow. Together, we use a bottom-up/top-down approach to process past experiences for a more connected and grounded future.
I work with individuals and couples, and offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and Imago couples therapy.

As a queer and neurodivergent affirming therapist, the clients I collaborate with often hold intersecting identities that have historically been excluded from therapy spaces. Many have worn the mask of everything is fine while over-functioning, over-giving, and quietly running on empty.
My hope when I meet new clients is that therapy feels like a place where all of you belongs — no performing, shrinking, or dimming yourself required.
Emotional overwhelm doesn't have to be the norm. I walk beside clients who want to heal old wounds, return home from self abandonment and like who they see when they get there.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
