About My Clients

I am a proudly LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who is passionate about working with older adults, caregivers, and people experiencing life transitions.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is rooted in the idea that it is never too late to take one step closer to the person we want to be. We rarely get to choose the pain that we encounter in our lives, but we can develop tools and skills that allow us to respond to that pain in ways that align with our values. I believe that therapy can create an empowering space to gently hold even our most intense emotions and experiences. In this space, we can work as a team to explore what matters most to you and center that even as you navigate life’s challenges. Through mindfulness-based and trauma-informed approaches such as MBCT and ACT, I hope to be a partner on your journey of self-compassion and discovery.
