Finding a place where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and valued can be hard. Maybe you're seeking a safe and supportive place to explore your identity or struggles with someone who "gets it." No matter what brings you here, I'm glad you're here. I understand the importance of having a space where your identity is not only respected, but affirmed and welcomed. You won't encounter judgment or someone telling you who you "should" be in this space. Instead, I believe that you are the expert on your own life and that your experiences, relationships, and traumas have profoundly shaped you.
My approach is dynamic, and I enjoy incorporating art and play therapy techniques into sessions. I specialize in working with anxiety, religious trauma, LGBTQ+ individuals, and neurodivergence. Whether you thrive on structured exercises and worksheets or cringe at the thought of therapy feeling like a chore, I'm here to meet you where you are.
My experience in residential, addiction, and outpatient treatment settings has granted me the opportunity to work with all types of people with diverse struggles. Together, we can create an environment that encourages, challenges, and supports you on your journey. All that’s needed is for you to come as you are, whatever that may look like.
