I bring a grounded, attentive presence and a keen sense for what often goes unspoken, using gentle humor to foster genuine connection and ease. My focus includes individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, body image issues, and relationship difficulties. I also have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, offering a safe, affirming space to explore gender, sexuality, and identity.
My style is collaborative and tailored to you. We’ll look at how your past shapes your present, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and build new ways of thinking, relating, and setting boundaries. I draw from a range of therapeutic methods, always focused on what works best for you.
If you're just curious, ready to understand yourself, shift long-standing patterns, or build better relationships, I can help. The work isn’t quick or surface-level—it’s about real change that lasts.

I'm not in-network with insurance, but I can work with out-of-network benefits, which may lower your cost - sometimes to less than a typical copay. New clients are encouraged to share any financial limitations. If we can't find a workable fee, I'll help connect you with someone who can.
