If you’re feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Maybe you’ve tried to white-knuckle your way through it, or maybe things have gotten to a point where daily life feels overwhelming. I combine a warm, down-to-earth style with proven approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS. Together, we’ll work on understanding the “why” behind your patterns, and learning tools that bring relief. Whether this is your first time to therapy or your hundredth, I am excited to support you, challenge you when it’s helpful, and remind you that healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, and it starts right where you are.

Areas of clinical specialty: transgender/GNC care, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, OCD, aggression, suicidality, self injury and harm reduction, emerging adulthood, chronic mental illness, LGBTQIA+.
