I believe that a collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client is essential for a positive therapy experience. I’ll hold space for your pain, help make room for your joy, and act as your guide in bravely exploring your inner world. And since this therapy thing can be hard, we'll make sure to have some laughs along the way and be gentle in our process. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who have lived through trauma and who desire to meet themselves more authentically. Mindfulness, self-compassion, skill coaching, and trauma-informed interventions are core to my practice. I'm also an LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician and hold non-judgmental space for those navigating their gender and sexual identity. Life can be brutal, and I believe we were never meant to tackle it alone. So, I'll bring my expertise as a clinician, you bring your expertise on yourself, and we'll work towards building you a rich and meaningful life together.
