I believe therapy is a safe place for you to explore all parts of yourself. Being a human is hard sometimes, and through therapy, we can develop a more grounded connection to ourselves, which impacts how we relate to others and the world around us. I take into consideration your lived experiences and identities as central to your well-being and psychological health.
I approach my therapeutic work from a relational perspective. Through my trauma-informed lens, I first prioritize clients’ own self/body as a place of safety and groundedness. Additionally, I hold space for clients to have a deeper understanding of themselves and who they are in the world. I have a passion for queer and trans-focused therapy, and actively brings curiosity towards the ways in which identities intersect to create your own unique experience in the world. I also have a passion for working with trauma survivors, and use the safety of the therapeutic relationship to promote safety in individuals’ selves. I readily use mindfulness and body-based interventions when working with trauma and am an EMDR-trained therapist.
I attempt to lead with love in my work, and utilize a blend of self-compassion and accountability to help clients grow and work towards their goals for therapy. I am known by my clients to be both kind and direct in service towards their healing. I believe that therapy should be tailored to each individual and will work collaboratively with each client to set goals and assess progress in order to meet each client’s needs.

Today, July 26th, is National Disability Independence Day. This annual commemoration marks the day in 1990 when the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. The ADA enshrined several crucial civil rights protections for individuals with disabilities, but it still falls short of its intended goals after over 30 years on the books.
