Hello and welcome! 

Taking the first step in asking for additional support can be scary and vulnerable. I understand and I’m here to help you as you start this new journey. I became a therapist to help individuals gain insight and understanding into themselves, and to help them discover what is holding them back from being their best possible self. I firmly believe that you are the key to your own success story, and that with hard work and consistent

support, you can achieve happiness and self-acceptance.

 

My goal is to provide you with a safe, accepting place, to support you on your path to wellness and recovery. I approach therapy from an affirming and humanistic perspective. I will be there every step of the way to help you gain insight, learn how to appropriately problem solve and to ultimately achieve your goals, while providing a safe and accepting space to help guide you on your way.

 

I have a passion for working with adolescents, adults and couples identifying as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.  I have specialized training and experience in working with those seeking support as they explore their gender and sexual identity, including navigating the processes of coming out and transitioning.  My other areas of expertise include mood and anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, men’s issues, neurodivergence, anger management and life adjustments.  Healing takes a village of community and connection, and to support creating this village, I also enjoy working with family members whose loved one is coming out, transitioning, or exploring their gender & sexual identity as well as family members experiencing a loved one navigating a psychotic disorder.

 

I approach therapy from an affirming and humanistic perspective by using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness based approaches through a trauma informed lens. Whether you are an individual or a couple, during our work together, you will play an active role in your therapeutic journey and I will be there every step of the way to help you gain insight, learn how to appropriately problem solve and to ultimately achieve your goals, while providing a safe and accepting space to help guide you on your way.
