ABOUT ME:

I am passionate about supporting adolescents and adults along their journey in learning how to take better care of their mental health. My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, trauma-informed, gender affirming, and neurodivergent affirming. I enter each session as my authentic self; human first and therapist second. I know it can be intimidating to be vulnerable in front of someone you’re just meeting and that it will take time to build trust before delving deeper. By showing up as “human first”, I hope to give clients a sense of comfort when starting to discuss experiences that may be difficult to share.

I have experience supporting clients in identity exploration, processing past or ongoing trauma, life transitions, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence. I also support clients in processing larger systemic traumas related to race, gender, sexual orientation, and medical & occupational experiences.

Outside of the office, I love finding dog friendly places to take my 15-year-old pup, Flea. He may be in the office from time to time. I love finding new interesting reality TV shows to watch and have a weekly reality TV night with my partner and my cousin.
