Great to meet you!

My style is warm, affirming, and focused on progress. I currently provide individual, couples, and family therapy, as well as wellness coaching and clinical supervision. I support clients seeking clinical evaluations and documentation support for Emotional Support Animals (ESA)and gender-affirming care with compassion and clinical integrity, and without unnecessary gatekeeping.

My approach to therapy

I do not offer consultations. Instead we will start with a full intake session to get a better picture of your needs and desires of treatment and to make sure we are a good fit.

I use a collaborative, affirming approach that blends relational, psychodynamic, and skill-based methods to tailor each session to your needs and goals. You can expect sessions that balance warmth and humor with practical tools, reflective questions, and space for honest conversation. tailoring each session to your needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and challenged to grow. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, concrete strategies for navigating challenges, and a stronger connection to your own values and voice.
