I recognize that our clinical world hasn’t always treated everyone with the care, dignity, and understanding they deserve. Many diagnosis and demographics remain disenfranchised, overlooked, or misunderstood. This reality is exactly why I’ve chosen to narrow my practice to serve the listed populations specifically. Offering informed, evidence-based, and compassionate care rooted in acceptance, open-mindedness, and the wisdom gained from both clinical training and personal experience.
I am an integrative, interactive, and eclectic, psychodynamic therapist who takes a firm Jungian approach to therapy, believing that to truly support a person in their healing, we must be willing to navigate their shadows alongside them. It’s through this deep, sometimes uncomfortable work that genuine growth and light are found.
I am a therapist who isn’t afraid to jump into the hole with you and help pull you out, because I believe you belong on the earth’s surface with everyone else. Your success matters to me, but only if it matters to you too. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong in traditional therapy spaces, you’ll find a different experience with me.

With BPD my slogan is "Remission not Regression!" Radical Acceptance is a powerful tool especially if used as mantras rather than statements. I will teach you my edgy and updated approach on this classic coping skill. Additionally, I've created an approach to the Attitude of Gratitude which is intensive and uplifting, not only to better learn gratitude and happiness, but to confront judgement.

Psychotherapeutic Reiki is a complementary modality integrating energy-based healing with psychotherapy. It addresses the mind-body connection by clearing energetic blockages tied to trauma, maladaptive conditioning, and emotional dysregulation. This practice enhances therapeutic outcomes, fosters resilience, and supports emotional and somatic balance.
