Great to meet you!

I'm so glad you're here!

I would love to help you move through difficulty and into an experience of your most fulfilling life.

I've been practicing therapy since 2021. My specialties include treatment of trauma-related disorders, neurodivergence, perfectionism/high achieving patterns, and depression and anxiety. My clinical training includes treatment of substance use disorders, working with LGBTQ+ people, and supporting folks navigating poverty and homelessness.

My approach to therapy

I'm curious, warm, and gentle - but I won't hesitate to invite you into looking at your "stuff". My goal is to offer you a space of compassion and non-judgment, so you can better meet yourself and liberate the energy that's caught up in suffering. Our sessions will also deepen your understanding of ways the mind works, which can bring a sense of spaciousness. With more clarity, space and energy, I hope you'll feel more able to move toward your goals and dreams.

What you can expect from me

First we'll discuss your goals, strengths, and struggles and decide on a focus for our work together. Sessions generally include conversations, inquiries and exploration from me, practicing skills, and occasional mindfulness practices to connect with your inner trust and guidance.
