I view mental health as a pathway to personal growth and self-discovery. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, there is tremendous potential for resilience, strength, and positive change. I am here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, empathy, and unwavering support as you navigate your unique path towards mental wellness. I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous communities, but have experience across ages and demographics.
Using a person-centric and empathetic approach to therapy, I have the firm belief that everyone has the capacity to heal and thrive. Mental health is not a destination but a continuous journey, and together, we can explore the depths of your emotions, discover your inner resources, and develop effective strategies to overcome obstacles.
Reach out via email today to set up a free 15 minute virtual consultation. Let us embrace the boundless possibilities that lie within you, as we work hand in hand to create a life of fulfillment, purpose, and authentic well-being.

As with any topic explored in therapy, my clinical approach focuses initially on a reduction in aggravating symptoms. Once we find some emotional breathing room, we then will look at the underlying patterns and systems that brought you here. This is where the life-changing work really begins.

I am a relational and humanistic clinician, who uses a wide variety of modalities to create a customized experience and meet people where they're at. So starting work together will focus on making sure you feel safe and heard. Afterwards, I like focusing on developing somatic awareness while also learning more about yourself and potential coping tools.
