Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm so glad you are here. I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy to individuals and couples who are neurodivergent and part of the LGBTQI+ community. Areas of support include anxiety, depression, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, burnout, meltdown management, and exploring LGBTQI+ identities/coming out. I am also beginning to work with couples and have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my work.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client centered. You are the expert on your own life. I am here to offer you support and tools for you to utilize to meet your goals and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

What you can expect from me

I support clients in developing coping strategies to increase their regulation and sense of calm. This may include utilizing mindfulness, distress tolerance skills or cognitive behavioral therapy. My goals for our work together include supporting you in improving your relationship with others, your relationship with yourself, and developing strategies for managing stressors.
