It is important to me that the client’s I work with feel seen, heard, and supported when processing difficult life experiences and feelings. I am informed and specialize in childhood trauma, adult-onset trauma, and attachment relationships. During our time together, my goal is to help you discover the root cause of difficulties, to help offer relief as well as redirect maladaptive patterns (avoidance, anger, fear, etc.) to positive changes and growth.

For adolescents and adults in the midst of transition, loss or difficulty, finding real help can seem like a dicey proposition. Often people find themselves depressed, anxious, numb or lost, but might feel too ashamed to let others know the extent of their growing unhappiness. Many try to manage their worry in secret, only transmitting their distress after their work/school performance slips, they self-harm or start to abuse chemicals. Family and friends may actively worry about them, but not know how to start the conversation or how to get their loved one help.

As a therapist, I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ young adults and teens to heal trauma, reduce anxiety, and navigate difficult relationships. I also love working with kids who express anger and worry in big ways. I use play therapy to reduce anxiety and regulate big emotions. I do not think symptoms appear out of nowhere. We are products of our upbringing, relationships, and even the Netflix shows we binge. I check my ego at the door to bring insight, creativity, and humor. I am both a neurodivergent and gender affirming provider and have received advanced training in play therapy and complex trauma.

Are you contemplating therapy? Asking yourself if you really need it? The decision to participate in therapy is very personal and rarely straightforward. The majority of clients I work with are competent, well-functioning individuals who are struggling in some way or are feeling dissatisfied, unhappy, or stuck. Whether it's regarding a past experience, your everyday life, your relationship, fears about the future, or something more devastating or extraordinary, therapy can help.

We believe emotional wellness matters (a lot), and that everyone has the right to make it a priority. Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple. So many questions can get in the way. Maybe you’ve even asked them yourself: Is this normal? Can talking to someone really help me? What is therapy all about, anyway? What would people say if they knew I was going? How do I find the right therapist? Will I be comfortable there? When will I find the time? Will my insurance pay for this? If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. And we can help.
