Are you a queer identifying person who is struggling with intrusive emotions? Are you someone who is tired of "managing" day to day? Are you someone who wants to connect more with your body and find your truer self? As a Brainspotting, EMDR, Ego-States, Somatic, and DBT-informed therapist, I specialize in equipping individuals with effective tools to identify and accept their emotions, navigate relationships, and overcome their intrusive stressors and trauma. By combining these evidence-based approaches, I create a supportive environment for your growth. Let's embark on your transformative journey together!
I have a strong comfort and skill set working with individuals and groups over the ages of 15 and up, specializing in supporting individuals who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals suffering from PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and neurodivergence based conditions.
If you are someone who is tired of suffering and would like to feel more connected to your life worth living, please feel free to contact. I invite you to call/email to see if I will be a good fit for you. Let’s work together to build a sustainable and supportive life for you!

I work with many people who experience harsh core beliefs about themselves, difficulty with vulnerability, sensory concerns, and other nervous system based symptoms. During our sessions, we will work together to identify how life has gotten you to this point, how to helpfully feel emotions, and how to find homeostasis.

My primary work is based in Brainspotting, EMDR, Ego-States (parts-work), Somatics, and DBT-informed psychotherapy techniques. All together, this allows for a very integrative approach to therapy to analyze, enhance, and regulate emotions.
