Come exactly as you are — you are welcome here! If life feels heavy right now, you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m here to walk beside you with care, compassion, and understanding. Trauma work is my passion. I’m a queer witchy therapist who is trans-affirming, poly/kink allied, and sex worker allied. I welcome all parts of you, just as you are. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I support clients navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more. As a military spouse for over 17 years, I also understand the challenges of constant transitions and unseen struggles.
My approach is integrative and flexible. I pull from different theories and techniques to meet you where you are. There’s no one-size-fits-all path to healing; we’ll find what works for you together. I believe healing happens in connection. You already hold strength and wisdom inside you. Therapy can be the safe space where you rediscover it.
Change can feel scary, and reaching out can be the hardest step. You won’t have to face it alone. I’ll be here—a steady, supportive guide—every step of the way. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I would be honored to walk it with you.

I'm a people person and you can expect me to give you multiple resources that will suit your needs. I use empirical therapies and I also use out of the box methods. I have used art, music, quotes, humor (when appropriate) mindfulness, meditations and I'm always looking to find various pathways towards healing. I believe we are not one size fits all and we need to be treated like we are unique.
