Great to meet you!

I believe individuals are a culmination of their life experiences and should be treated as such. Together, we will collaborate on the exploration of your past and present experiences and how they influence the here and now. I specialize in adults dealing with identity exploration, sexual shame, LGBTQ+ issues and healing from purity culture. I am also equipped to handle more severe cases of anxiety and depression. As a Queer therapist, I find the focus of systemic factors important to keep in mind and to communicate openly without fear of judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present in order to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be.

What you can expect from me

Using collaboration, we will work together at a pace that is comfortable while ensuring you reach your goals. Together we will foster a comfortable environment where you feel relaxed and are comfortable to communicate freely without the fear of being judged.
