Great to meet you!

If you're looking to move past the impact of trauma, struggle with setting and enforcing boundaries, and want a balance of conversational therapy alongside accountability and skill-building, we may work well together. I offer a direct, relational style of therapy, with an occasional curse word thrown in for authenticity—something that some clients really appreciate. I believe in being open and transparent to foster a comfortable space for honest communication and growth.

I'm passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families to find balance using skills-based practices!

*My schedule is M-Fri 11-6.

*I require a 15 min phone consult to make sure our schedules and vision for therapy align. Please email me and we will find a time to talk! [email protected]

A bit about my approach to therapy

Creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment is key to my approach. I show up as a human being first, bringing my authentic self to the therapeutic process. I understand that therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming, so I strive to ensure that our space feels safe, collaborative, and comfortable. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I’m here to guide you in connecting with yourself in a deeper and more meaningful way that feels right for you.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients are motivated individuals who are either new to therapy or have tried it before without achieving the results they hoped for. Many of them are navigating the challenges of trauma and identify within the LGBTQIA+ community, though I also enjoy working with helping professionals and individuals dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, and other life stressors. I work with people who are ready to engage in their personal growth and are seeking meaningful change.

After our first session, my hope is that you feel excited, motivated, and eager to return. I highly value feedback from my clients, so if there’s anything you liked or didn’t like, please let me know. Your input is crucial in helping me ensure we’re on the right path toward your growth.
