I’m so happy you’re here. If you’re struggling with the wonderful and tender mess of being human, you’ve arrived in the right spot. You might be navigating relationship issues, grappling with worry, being critical or lacking trust in yourself, navigating a big change, or healing from past hurts. Others might see you as having your “stuff” together, but inside you feel you’re struggling in ways that are hard to express. You’re ready feel better, break your habit of worrying, and nurture a loving and trusting relationship with yourself. Or maybe you just need a person to walk alongside you in a really hard period of your life. Together, we can holistically work toward cultivating self-worth and self-trust, establishing a sense of calm inside yourself, boosting your sense of fulfillment in your relationships, finding a sense of emotional balance, riding the waves of change, and re-authoring fixed beliefs and stories.

Treatment Approach

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
  • Emotionally Focused (EFT)
  • Integrative
  • Internal Family Systems
  • Narrative
  • Person-Centered
  • Psychoeducational
  • Rational-Emotive
  • Somatic
Approach Description: I aim to be a safe place to land as we find our way through the hurt, chaos, and messiness that is inherent to life. I know that reaching out for support can be vulnerable and intimidating, so know you're not alone in that. I tend to have an emphatic approach, and I can be both soft and direct, at times. As a queer therapist, my practice is LGBTQ2S+ positive.
