Great to meet you!

I'm a laid-back and caring type of human. While keeping the focus on you, I will often share from my own experiences (with consent, generally) to align with your goals of personal growth and connection.

I received my Masters in Couples and Family therapy from the University of Colorado at Denver in 2019. I have been working for an organization called Queer Asterisk since that year, seeing clients from the LGBTQIA community. I am trained in EMDR and IFS modalities.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a strong belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship as the primary healing force of therapy. Connecting with you about anything from big T traumas to your favorite type of bug is important to me. I try to embrace the awkward of being humans building a new connection over the internet. I bring a somewhat silly and non-judgmental attitude into my work with clients, and I'm always open to feedback about what style of relating might suit you best.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to take away the experience of being emotionally "held" for 53 minutes, a coping skill or two, and an increased sense of overall well-being, even if everything isn't fixed yet.
