Great to meet you!

I've spent my career in community mental health, working with complex trauma, sexuality, severe and treatment-resistant depression, and gender identity. I’m especially passionate about supporting people who feel misunderstood, stuck, or unsure where to turn next. I offer free 15-minute consult calls on my website so that you can ensure we'd be a good fit for each other.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, I focus on creating a clear, honest, and comfortable space to talk about the things you might not feel safe sharing anywhere else. I use an integrative approach grounded in traditional psychotherapy and evidence-based, affirming practices, and I’ll always tailor what we do to your goals so therapy feels useful and relevant to your life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I’ll walk you through my policies, answer your questions, and start getting a full picture of what’s been going on for you. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping to change or better understand, then begin shaping a plan together so you can feel clearer, more supported, and more in control of your next steps.
