Great to meet you!

Well hello there and thank you for stopping by!

I have vast experience working with individuals, mostly to resolve family dynamic situations. I have also interned in agencies that address LGBTQ+ topics and child trauma. I have worked with an assortment of people and consider myself a therapist that brings their authentic self to every session.

My approach to therapy

I want therapy to be more of a brainstorm session with another real person: little to no jargon use, I will be transparent with you, and you will be treated like you are the expert of your life (because you are).

What you can expect from me

You have already taken the first step in taking care of yourself by looking for a therapist. I hope that with mine (or honestly anyone on this site or in your life) support you get back to or find your place of safety. So come take a seat, take a deep breath, brace for questions (and a couple of laughs when needed) and let's start the good work.
