Inclusive, down-to-earth therapy.

When you are struggling, it’s hard to jump through hoops to get the care you need. My goal as a therapist is to create a welcoming, accessible space for you to confidentially discuss whatever you are going through.

You may be looking for a place to explore your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and identity. You might be looking for a plan to cope with the distress you are experiencing so that you can move toward a quality of life that is in line with your values. You might be looking for both, and that’s awesome!

Being in therapy isn’t always easy, but it shouldn’t be intimidating or damaging. I bring awareness about the way that traumatic experiences impact the mind and body, and I engage with clients in a compassionate, strengths-based way.

I am a queer therapist, and I have years of experience supporting clients in the LGBTQIA+ community.
