About My Clients

I specialize in working with trauma, relationship issues, neurodivergence and the LGTBQ+ community. In my work as a therapist, I strive to nurture an environment where you can bring your entire self without fear of judgement. I believe the tools for healing are innate, my job is to help you uncover and strengthen them!

My Background and Approach

I utilize EMDR, CBT, attachment theory and person centered therapy to foster confidence, autonomy and healing in my relationships with clients. I have a warm, affirming and gently challenging approach.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Therapy is a deeply personal, vulnerable space- it is important that you feel supported by your therapist inside and outside of the office. As a queer woman, I understand the importance of having a space to cry, mourn, process and deconstruct the current state of our country. I welcome questions regarding my views, rants about the latest headline, and deconstructing internalized hatred for yourself or others.
