Currently accepting new clients. Maybe you feel shame, anxiety, on edge, constantly unsure. Or maybe you've spent a lifetime navigating a world that doesn't seem to have a place for you, and it has made it immensely difficult to show up as your authentic self. Whether you're questioning your sexual identity, gender identity, navigating relationship dynamics, navigating an abusive relationship, or working through sexual concerns, you'll find a completely judgment-free space with me. There is no such thing as “TMI” here. I want you to bring ALL of you in here. I want THIS to be that space for you, finally.

I'm a LGBTQIA+, relationship, and kink-affirming therapist. As an LGBTQIA+ woman, wife, parent, and survivor of domestic violence, I am able to bring the unique combination of lived experience and clinical skills into the room, if you feel it would be helpful to you. I'm certified in EMDR, and have witnessed its profound impact first hand.

I believe you deserve acceptance no matter who you were, who you are, or who you want to become. You deserve to be heard, respected, and given the time you need to heal and grow. You are the expert in your own life. Together, we'll work toward helping you reclaim your voice, rebuild your confidence, and create the life you deserve. Reach out to get started.

Building a foundation of trust when doing trauma work is essential to me. Whatever you name as traumatic, I will honor as your truth. As a Board Certified EMDR Therapist, I've been practicing and presenting on EMDR therapy for years. Not just because of my professional training, but because I've witnessed its profound impact firsthand, both in my own healing journey and in my work with clients.
