We are LGBTQ+ allied and provide gender affirming care.
I specialize in working with gifted adults, therapists, health care workers, trauma, DBT after-care, and anyone who feels as if they don’t fit in. My practice is trauma informed. In our work we will use mindfulness and DBT skills to create stability. We will process trauma, free up creative blocks, and develop self-love using Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and hypnosis. We will explore your values so that you may align your behaviors to them. I am passionate about supporting trans and non-binary, and LGBTQIA+ folx. Each session is tailored to your current needs and ongoing goals. My main goal is to help you learn to love yourself so that you can feel resilient no matter what life brings your way... and experience joy. You deserve it.
I also provide LPCC clinical supervision.
Not accepting new clients.
I work to create a warm, welcoming environment where lasting change and healing can occur. My approach focuses on building from your innate strengths and wisdom to reconnect with your emotions and yourself. I am trauma-informed and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, and bring a developmental psychology lens to all my work. I frequently use Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, Somatic techniques, and mindfulness in sessions.
I enjoy blending clinical modalities with use of movement, music, art, play, spirituality, and tradition. I welcome your ancestral knowledge and practices into our sessions as a healing tool. My approach is casual and focuses on creating a strong therapeutic relationship that healing can occur within.
I work with families as well as children, teenagers, and adults. I have additional experience and interest in working with individuals in the perinatal period, "nontraditional" families and family systems, and very young children (ages 0-6). Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, or to schedule a free initial 15-minute consultation!
I believe that by reconnecting with your sense of self, people can heal. I work with adults who are dealing with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. I enjoy working with artists and creative individuals, helping them navigate the challenges that come with a creative life. I have extensive experience supporting people and families navigating psychosis. My approach is straightforward: You already have strengths worth building on. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong," we'll work together to help you regulate emotions, express yourself authentically, and feel more grounded in your daily life.
I draw from several approaches, but I'll always explain what we're doing and why. My style is structured yet approachable—trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally responsive to diverse backgrounds and identities. I am trained in EMDR, evidence-based Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD and incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients access their core Self and heal wounded parts. I also integrate mindfulness and DBT skills to enhance emotion regulation and self-expression. My person-centered approach emphasizes your inherent strengths, fostering empowerment and authentic healing at your own pace.
I provide a space for people to grow and heal into their most authentic selves. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive philosophies, and I understand the ways that the weight of our world can impact your mental health.
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ teens, adults, and couples struggling with topics related to depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, polyamory, sexuality and gender exploration, dysphoria, body dissatisfaction, shame, and kink/BDSM. I am neurodiversity-affirming, sex-positive, and anti-diet.
I use person-centered therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy to hold you in your journey of self-discovery. Together we’ll build your capacity for self-compassion, explore your values, and bring harmony to your internal world.
