I am here to help my clients figure out how to build safety and security back into their lives after living through traumatic experiences. In my perspective, we are all living with trauma and this world was not built for us to heal from it. This makes it one of the most challenging things to be actively working towards healing from trauma and living your life within the confines of our systems. It is my goal to create a space where healing is not just possible, but probable. I am here to help people figure out how to create the life they want; together we will chart a course that feels nurturing, safe, and realistic.

I specialize in working people who move through the world differently, particularly trans and queer people who are ready to do some deeper therapy/trauma work and understand and change maybe feeling reactive, on high alert, frozen, or shut down. With empathy and an anti-oppression approach, I can help you examine what's keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, frozen, or confused.
I also love working with other trans therapists especially in this time of collective collapse and traumatization as we try to support ourselves while supporting others.

Many people come to therapy seeking relief from painful symptoms, relationship issues and self-defeating patterns. They may feel alone and isolated in their suffering. I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates aloneness and facilitates connection, healing and positive change. My style is relational, warm and forthright. My clients achieve more than just symptom relief -- they also grow in their capacity to feel safe and connected with others, and they experience improved self-esteem and identity.

I work with Adults that come to therapy wanting to feel more like their Authentic selves. I support many outwardly successful people dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I help anxiously or avoidantly attached individuals understand how they relate to themselves and others in relationships. From this gained insight relationships shift toward secure attachment and improved capacity to regulate a full range of emotions. I also help adults reprocess childhood trauma and attachment trauma. I am non-pathologizing in my approach. I find that we get wounded in relationships and relationships are also a place for healing.

I am a Trauma Therapist who is certified in EMDR Therapy dedicated to providing compassionate and supportive counseling. I work with individuals both long and short term. Wanting to understand why adverse or difficult things happen to us is natural. When one can contribute a sense of meaning to a difficult situation the power of the problem is often integrated and diminishes. Therapy is a process that can help an individual find the transformational quality in their adverse experiences and become empowered, instead of overwhelmed by them.

We live in a time of great hostility, instability, and disempowerment for those who continue to be pushed to the margins of society. I am particularly attuned to the terrifying, nationwide threats that face trans and gender-diverse (TGD) youth and adults that seek to remove our access to life-affirming care, bodily autonomy, and ability to live safely with a sense of wholeness. In sharing in your pain, I firmly believe that we can cultivate a renewed hope, honor the grief of what has been lost, and heal within the context of community.

Including immigration evaluations. Therapy with me welcomes all of you—your grief, your questions, your strength, your fire.
