Welcome—I’m glad you’re here.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. My goal is to make this process as comfortable and empowering as possible. I offer compassionate, authentic care rooted in a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship—because connection is the foundation of healing.

With over a decade of experience in mental health, I specialize in working with adolescents (14+) and adults navigating depression, anxiety, chronic health conditions, and life transitions. I’m an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist with training in WPATH Standards of Care and experience supporting clients through gender exploration, dysphoria, and transitioning.

I also work with ADHD, panic disorders, bipolar disorder, body image concerns, and acute PTSD. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with integrative elements of mindfulness and self-compassion.

Reaching out is a powerful first step—I’d be honored to support you on your path to healing and growth.
