Great to meet you!

Now accepting new clients! Are you a person who feels like you're carrying more than anyone should have to? Maybe old experiences still show up in your relationships, your body, or the way you react when stress hits. You don't need everything figured out to start, and you don't need to be in crisis to deserve support. I help teens and adults make sense of what they've been through and build lives that feel fuller, steadier, and more their own.

I've have experience in foster care and community mental health settings, so I'm comfortable with hard stories and big feelings. Together we can process trauma at a pace that feels safe, build coping skills you'll actually use, and strengthen emotional regulation so the tough moments feel more manageable.

I am proudly LGBTQ+ affirming. Queer, trans, and nonbinary clients can show up fully here, and I am glad to write letters of support for gender-affirming care. I'm also familiar with emotional support animal (ESA) documentation and can talk through whether it fits as part of our work together.

My approach to therapy

I help teens and adults heal from trauma, regulate big emotions, and build real-life coping skills. We start by creating safety and practical tools, then process harder experiences at your pace, so you can feel calmer, more in control, and more like yourself.

I use DBT, CBT, and ACT alongside trauma-focused and strength-based approaches. Sessions are collaborative: you set the pace, and we balance talking things through with practical skills you can use right away. Expect a warm, judgment-free space where you're treated as the expert on your own life, and where we celebrate progress, big and small.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you'd like to change, and what matters most to you. You won't be pushed to share more than you're ready to. I'll listen closely and without judgment, answer your questions, and we'll start shaping goals together. Most people leave feeling heard and a little lighter.
