Finding the right therapist can feel like a big step. My goal is to make that step a little easier by creating a space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and talk openly without fear of judgment.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), while tailoring therapy to your individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we can explore the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences that may be impacting your life and develop practical tools to help you move forward.

   I have a particular passion for working with LGBTQIA+ individuals as well as people who are polyamorous or ethically non-monogamous. I believe relationships and identities can look different for everyone, and therapy should be a place where you can explore those experiences openly and authentically.

   

I also have a special interest in supporting individuals and families impacted by disability and chronic health conditions. My own experience living with a physical disability has given me a personal understanding of the resilience, adaptation, advocacy, and emotional challenges that can come with navigating a world that does not always accommodate everyone. My experience as a parent of a neurodivergent child has further shaped my understanding of the challenges families can face while advocating for their children's needs.

   Throughout my career, I have worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and circumstances, including individuals experiencing significant trauma, mental health crises, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. These experiences have reinforced my belief that people are more than their diagnoses or circumstances.

  You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're struggling with something that happened recently, carrying the weight of past experiences, having difficulty in your relationships, or simply know that something needs to change, therapy can provide a place to begin.

   My role is not to tell you how to live your life. My role is to listen, help you understand yourself more deeply, and support you in making choices that align with your values and the life you want to create.
