I want to understand you as a whole person. If you are struggling with emotional regulation, setting boundaries in your relationships, or dealing with upsetting reminders of past trauma, there is hope. Together, we can work to help you create a life worth living, develop meaningful and healthy relationships, and break free from unhealthy cycles that may be keeping you stuck. I have experience working with individuals navigating trauma, severe mental illness, and complex life challenges, with a particular focus on providing affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients, gender-diverse individuals, and those in kink and polyamorous relationships.
My approach to therapy is centered on helping you discover what works best for you and clarifying what you truly want out of your life. From there, we’ll work together to build the skills and confidence you need to create a life that feels meaningful and authentic to you.
If you are reading this and think I would be a good fit for you, don't hesitate to reach out.
