Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who works with individuals 13+ and couples of all shapes, sizes, statuses, and kinks! Healing does not happen in isolation, and I would be honored to hold space for healing community with you! I am a certified ADHD service provider who particularly enjoys working with 2SLGBTQIA+, religious trauma, identity issues, and those who feel at their wits end!

My approach to therapy

I approach all clients (both individuals and couples) from a systemic lens, which means I consider all the important influencing people and systems within your life, and how they contribute to your issues. I like to remain lovingly direct with clients, while providing a safe space to process. I incorporate somatic work, while exploring the deeper roots of thoughts, feelings, and patterns. I don't use a "band-aid" approach to healing, so prepare to dig in!...at a safe pace, of course.

What you can expect from me

I am going to be honest, my first sessions can sometimes feel a bit disjointed. As an ADHDer, I am trying to both gather pertinent information, while also allowing you the space to get all the shit out that's been brewing for some time! My goal is for you to heave a sigh of relief as you leave the first session knowing that some things can feel insurmountable, but I'm here for it, with you! (No matter how tangential your stories can get!)
