Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Rosie (she/her).. I hold particular experience in trauma-related issues, ADHD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ issues, and substance use. I also have a passion for helping people process work dissatisfaction, burnout, and career exploration. As a queer therapist myself, I am mindful of how people’s identities factor into their experience of the world and their experience in therapy.

My approach to therapy

I believe that people begin to heal the moment they feel heard. While I do incorporate interventions like CBT, EMDR and other trauma processing, mindfulness, and distress tolerance, my first and foremost focus is to be unconditionally on your team and on your side. Past clients have told me that working with me feels similar to the comfort as ease of talking to a friend, but with professional insights and expertise.

What you can expect from me

After a typical session with me, you should feel heard and supported. Some days you will feel lighter after a session, but other days we may do work that is hard and that's okay. It's all part of the gradual process of healing and growth. Even when we are working through difficult or painful things, most clients feel better knowing they have a safe place to come back to each week where they can be themselves. Let's work through what is holding you back from living the life you want.
