About My Clients

My specialty is working with Mood Disorders, Men's issues, and LGBTQ+ affirming care. I bring experience from private practice, community mental health and working at an LGBTQ+ Community center. Let’s make sense of the past while learning how to live in the present.

My Background and Approach

My style is calm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw mostly from my expertise in psychodynamic therapy, but I also use tools from IFS (parts work), CBT, mindfulness, and somatic practices. Psychodynamic therapy is about getting to the root of what brings you to therapy and understanding where behavior and thoughts come from. Once we understand that, awareness allows change. We'll use psychodynamic therapy and whatever helps us get to the root of what’s going on. Therapy with me is about slowing down, getting curious, and shining light on the parts of yourself that have been hidden or pushed away. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and start living more authentically; not just surviving, but actually thriving. Let’s make sense of the past while learning how to live in the present.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm a believer that everyone has a history that has lead them to who they are, but they aren't made to be trapped by their past. I take a look at the whole person; body, mind and spirit to help others live their most authentic self. I'm an active member of the LGBTQ+ community, Pagan community, and neurodiversity and mood disorder community.
