Great to meet you!

My practice incorporates various theories and evidence-based modalities. While I specialize in trauma with a focus on gender-based violence, I also work with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, non-suicidal self-harm, and life transitions as well as those exploring sexuality and intimate relationships. I primarily work with adolescents and adults.

My approach to therapy

From our first point of contact, I'm committed to co-creating a space with you that embraces and celebrates your resilience and vulnerability. I light up when working with folks who are open to an honest exploration of what has led them to this very moment; I believe it’s how we deepen our connection to ourselves and to one another. If you’re wanting to develop a foundation of education, tools, and strategies that will support this process, you’re in the right place!

What you can expect from me

We're in this together! I appreciate transparency and feedback - it helps me learn how to best help you! We'll work collaboratively to identify areas you'd like to focus on, develop goals, and figure out what approaches may be a good fit.
