I feel deeply connected with people who struggle to feel safe, worthy, and like they belong. I specialize in working with queer folks, trauma (PTSD & C-PTSD), anxiety and depression, body shame, high sensitivity, and an overall feeling of being stuck. My goal is to help you feel less alone, to and work together to develop self-compassion and other tools to help you heal and cope.

Therapy with me feels intimate, connected, and safe — at times, very deep and, at times, downright fun. Tears and belly laughs are equally likely during a session, and I believe both are inherently healing. My focus in therapy is on collaborating to form a safe, healing container in which strengths and struggles can safely arise and be worked with. A colleague once called me “a champion for the underdog,” and I wear that distinction with pride. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, and I take a social justice approach to therapy. I hope to be of help to anyone who feels in need of compassionate support and assistance, regardless of your background or current struggles.

I believe everything we need to heal is already within us, and we sometimes require help accessing it. Healers and shamans have been helping their communities deal with pain and trauma — and fulfilling their true potential — for centuries. I see counselors as modern incarnations of that lineage, and I consider this work my sacred calling.
