Life can be challenging at times. I invite you to reach out. I specialize in providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy & of course welcome people of all sexualities/gender identities. I also see people on reproductive journeys using assisted reproduction technologies such as IVF/IUI/Surrogacy. I offer a warm, accepting, and nonjudgmental space. Our work together will invite you to find a way forward, with your soul as guide. We will look at old patterns and critically, I will also provide clinical tools to assist going forward. We do this in a collaborative fashion, where I meet you where you are at.
I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for all. I specialize in the LGBTQ+ community, including couples, neurodiversity, anxiety, substance use, fertility struggles, family expansion through adoption or assisted reproductive technologies (e.g. IVF, egg donors/sperm donors/gestational carriers). I also provide assessments for intended parents.
I can appreciate that both seeking help and choosing a therapist can feel challenging, especially in difficult times. It can feel difficult to choose who feels right for you. I invite you to reach out to me for a free 15 minute consultation, where we can discuss what you feel you need, and I can answer any questions. I truly look forward to hearing from you.

Because everyone has unique needs, I use a blend of different styles - depth psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, music therapy, art therapy, and somatic psychotherapy. I believe that a varied use of treatment types is most beneficial and varies from person to person.
