I believe that you are the expert on your own experiences. I approach therapy with curiosity and humility, and strongly believe that healing and change happens through supportive relationships, including your relationship with yourself. This is the environment that I seek to provide, along with tools to help you cope with and overcome the challenges that life throws your way.

As a queer, transgender person, I am familiar with the ways that LGBTQIA+ identities can impact life, relationships, mental health, and ease in navigating the world. I am also familiar with the joy and connection that can come from being a member of this community. Because of this, I am particularly interested in working with transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse people to help others find ways to move toward more acceptance, community, and self-love.

I work with individuals ages 18 and older on a variety of concerns. My focus areas include trauma and PTSD, phobias, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I am trained in and provide Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD.
