I enjoy working with individuals who want to engage in therapy that is process-oriented, emotion-focused, and relational. My practice emphasizes the therapeutic process as one of the most powerful agents of change. I value authenticity and approach therapy as a whole person. I carry my identities, personality, and lived experiences with me. I believe that, when I show up fully, it creates space for you to do the same. My goal is to offer you a safe environment where you can show up with all parts of yourself – the whole person that you are - without without fear of judgment.
I work with clients who have family of origin concerns. I have a background in using harm reduction therapy to address substance use. I have worked with many LGBTQIA+ folx, and I am a World Professional Association for Transgender Health certified provider. I can provide documentation for individuals seeking gender-affirming surgical procedures.
My clinical practice is trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming. Please reach out to me to schedule a no-cost consultation if you think we might work well together. I look forward to meeting you.
