My website

As a mental health therapist, I’m committed to building safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationships. I meet you where you are—emotionally and in terms of your goals—and work alongside you to create meaningful, sustainable change through individual or couples therapy.

I believe therapy is most effective when built on trust and genuine connection. I’m honored to support clients from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and experiences. My current areas of focus include trauma, personality disorders, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and much more.

I’m passionate about offering a space where you can explore, express, and share openly—without judgment. Reaching out for support is an act of strength, and while taking that first step can feel overwhelming, you don’t have to do it alone. We all need help sometimes, and that’s more than okay.

I often work with clients who may be struggling with very complex issues - often worsened by the systems built around us. Topics of sessions can include various concerns including but not limited to: trauma, relationship issues with partner(s), friends, or family; chronic illness, adult diagnosed ADHD & ASD. Most clients see improvement and develop sustainable systems within the first few months.
