It takes time to realize that old habits just may not be serving you anymore and it's time to make a change. And then of course the question is... so what do I do instead? Therapy is a great place to sift through what works and what doesn't in your life, and to learn new skills to build a life that feels peaceful and content. I am especially interested in clients who want to improve their relationships with family and friends, to quiet their inner critic, to build their emotional vocabulary and regulation skills, and to explore new strategies to replace old habits that just aren't working for them anymore.

My areas of interest include trauma recovery, sexuality, and personal identity. I work from a harm reduction lens, and believe in each individual’s right to self-determination. Therapy is collaborative. The client is the expert on their own experience and should be in control of their healing process. Because of this belief, I approach therapy from a place of respect and humility. It is important to me not to pathologize clients. Rather, I work with each client to unpack how the past is present in a non-judgmental atmosphere.
