I have over 12 years of experience effectively treating mental health and substance abuse concerns with LGBTQIA2S+ persons (sex positive; kink affirming), BIPOC and other PGM, and femme-identified persons. I am excited about the opportunity to provide clients a therapeutic oasis in the desert of societal expectations, unspoken rules, and emotional voids. I value being person-centered, knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, empathetic, and relatable. My therapeutic training and personal values afford me the opportunity to engage in meaningful collaboration with clients as work through client-centered goals and objectives.
I provide Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to individual clients. For clients struggling with suicidality, I utilize the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS). I use the Gottman Method for couples and polycules.
My therapeutic mantra is, "Strengthening emotional connection, one part at a time." The goal is for us to collaborate in building the life you desire. It is okay to invest in your emotional wellbeing. You are worth it and I am here for support. I'm looking forward to working with you.

I use Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. IFS explores the parts that activate when we are under duress.

The Gottman Method will assist couples and polycules with improving communication and meaning.
