Great to meet you!

I provide trauma-informed, affirming care grounded in CBT and DBT. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals, college and medical students navigating crisis and burnout, and clients facing emotion dysregulation, perinatal challenges, OCD, PTSD, and BPD. Passionate about serving marginalized communities, I bring a social justice lens to every session—creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore, grow, and build lasting resilience.

My approach to therapy

I believe healing isn't about perfection. It's about feeling more in control, treating yourself with greater kindness, and moving through life's challenges with clarity and confidence. Together, we'll build practical skills to manage difficult emotions while honoring your unique story, identity, and strengths.

What you can expect from me

Taking the first step can feel daunting—but you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're facing a specific struggle or simply feeling stuck, I offer warmth, clinical expertise, and genuine partnership. Reach out today to schedule a consultation, and let's start moving toward the life you want.
